Car Accident Aftermath: Get Pain Relief from Whiplash

Did you know the average driver will be in a car crash once every 18 years? 

The odds are high that one of these accidents will result in whiplash or other bodily injury.

Even a minor fender bender can result in whiplash, and symptoms can linger, making day-to-day life difficult. Whiplash is a neck injury due to a rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, like the cracking of a whip. According to the Mayo Clinic, “most people with whiplash get better within a few weeks by following a treatment plan that includes medication and exercise.”

How can the Chiropractor Help with Neck Pain Due to Whiplash?

According to the Insurance Research Council, “nearly one third of all claimants injured in motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) seek treatment from doctors of chiropractic.” 

According to a 2012 study on the Epidemiology of Whiplash, “manual therapy (i.e., cervical mobilization and or manipulation), together with exercise appear to be the most effective noninvasive treatments for patients with acute whiplash related neck pain.” 

After a whiplash injury, you may not feel immediate pain. Sometimes, symptoms don’t show up for days or even years after an accident has occurred. Typical symptoms of whiplash are neck pain, back pain, vertigo, nausea, weakness, headaches, and numbness and tingling in the extremities.
