Whiplash: Can Chiropractic Care Help?

By Genevieve Cunningham

If you have escaped the consequence of whiplash in your life, you should count yourself an incredibly lucky individual. This common injury is incredibly painful. It affects your neck, and since we use this part of our body all of the time, it’s difficult to rest, recuperate, and regain your strength. Some people may like the idea of simply waiting out the effects of whiplash. In most cases, it will pass on its own with time and rest. Other people want help in speeding up the process and ensuring that their neck heals in the most efficient way possible. For these people, a trip to the chiropractor may be in order. Take a look at how getting to the chiropractor may help you heal from whiplash and leave you feeling better than ever.

What is Whiplash?

Whiplash is an injury of the neck muscles. It occurs when the neck is thrust forward and back in a quick and forceful manner. It most often occurs as the result of a car accident, but any scenario that causes this snap of the neck can result in a whiplash injury.

What are the Symptoms?

Most people who suffer from whiplash complain of pain in the neck. It may feel incredibly sore or tender. It may also restrict movement, as the pain is too much for regular mobility. Many people describe it as a stiff neck, but with far greater severity and intensity. The degree of whiplash that you suffer will depend on the severity of the accident or incident of which you were a part.

How Will a Chiropractor Help?

Chiropractors approach whiplash gently, as they understand the soreness attached to the injury. Before moving into full blown treatment, they may actually help you stretch the neck muscles or recommend ice at home to reduce the swelling that comes with the injury. They may then move on to spinal manipulation, which involves using their hands to place the vertebrae of the spine back into their proper location. This may help to eliminate stress and pressure caused by spinal misalignment, and allow the spine and neck to begin the healing process that will bring you ultimate and final relief.
