Chiropractic Care is Excellent Whiplash Pain Relief Treatment
Although whiplash is the most commonly-reported car accident injury, you can also get it as a sports injury or even a personal injury. It’s also notoriously sneaky; the pain may not manifest for hours, sometimes days, after the incident. If you’ve been in a situation where your head was whipped back and forth quickly, or if you experience any of the following symptoms, prompt chiropractic care and treatment can help you avoid long-term pain:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches
- Upper back pain (between the shoulder blades)
- Arm or hand pain, numbness or tingling (like carpal tunnel syndrome)
- Dizziness or light-headedness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Hearing or vision disturbances
- Face and jaw pain (like TMJ)
- Difficulty swallowing
Because whiplash is a complex injury in such a critical area of the spine, relief depends on multifaceted treatment that addresses both the soft-tissue strains and sprains, as well as the vertebral misalignments; painkillers simply aren’t enough.
