| Whiplash Injury |
Car accidents are very traumatic experiences, which one can
never forget. There are not only physical injuries but also psychological
injuries to deal with. Even though the amount of damage to the car in an
accident may look minor, but an accident can cause severe damage to the soft
tissue of the spinal cord. There occur massive forces with sudden deceleration
when automobile collision occurs.
Whiplash Injury Care
With Chiropractic Care
Injuries in the ligaments and muscles of the head due to
accident is called whiplash and in case of clinical terms, it is called
hypertension injury. Chiropractic care is the most successful treatment in this
case. A chiropractor will thoroughly examine your condition and with X-rays,
your treatment will begin. The aim of the treatment is to re-align the
vertebrae that have been dislocated by the collision forces. It is very
important to align the cervical vertebrae so that the spinal column can heal
properly. If it is not aligned properly, soft tissues will heal with misaligned
vertebrae and it can lead to several physical problems in the future.
Other treatments
In addition, your
chiropractor will also provide you with physical therapy and therapeutic
massage to increase blood circulation, which will promote healing. Since a
whiplash is essentially a strain/sprain of the muscles and ligaments, it will
take time to heal. It may take six to twelve months for complete healing. This
is the reason why it is important to take chiropractor help. With the help of a
chiropractor you can reduce your pain. Even after full recovery body, tissues
may not have full mobility and strength.
