Are you in Ann Arbor and experiencing neck pain from whiplash?
Car accidents are unfortunately common, with the average driver experiencing one every 18 years. While the risk of fatality is lower with all the safety measures of modern cars, there’s a significant chance of bodily injury, such as whiplash.
Treating Whiplash Injuries
If there are no fractures in the spine, a detailed evaluation—including X-rays and possibly an MRI—can assess the damage. Treatments often include:
- Chiropractic adjustments
- Stretching and therapeutic exercises
- Ice therapy and traction to correct spinal alignment
Chiropractic care is particularly effective for soft tissue injuries like ligament sprains and spinal disc issues. A 2012 review on whiplash epidemiology explains that manual therapy combined with exercise is among the best noninvasive treatments for whiplash.
