| Chiropractic care of whiplash |
Ever experienced a nagging pain in the neck or felt nauseous or giddy suddenly, think back to the slight bump you had in your car a couple of days-maybe a week or so back. Whiplash injuries often surface days even a week later. It’s sometimes difficult to believe but whiplash can occur at speeds that appear ridiculously low. What seems like a low speed bump to your mind can actually have a big impact on the delicate neuromuscular system of your body.
It is usually the neck and the supporting structures like the vertebrae, muscles and tendons that are affected in whiplash because the spine stretches and flexes in trying to find a way to support your sudden bodily displacement.
When the pain is nagging and persistent and an x-ray doesn’t reveal a fracture- it’s time to see a chiropractic doctor. A thorough examination and history of your pain by the Chiropractic doctor will reveal the cause and the treatment program will begin. The treatment itself consist of highly specialised methods of treatment that a Chiropractic doctor is trained to carry out and are mainly spinal manipulation, massages and specific exercises.
Chiropractic care for whiplash is effective because chiropractors are trained to deal with the spine, vertebrae and related tendons and tissues and nerves. The treatment may take from a couple of days to a few weeks depending on the severity of the symptoms.
The whiplash treatment by a Chiropractic doctor not only directly treats the spine but takes care of wrong posture, diet and changes your attitude to your spinal health. So while curing a pain in the neck or a low back pain or a headache or nausea or back pain Chiropractic treatment brings long term benefits for our entire health. So anytime you suspect that the pain is a result of an accident or an injury just make sure you consult the Chiropractic Centre for whiplash relief at Charlotte NC for the best care and recovery that a spine a can make.
