If you have whiplash, the injury can reduce your range of motion and impact your daily activities. Along with that, it can become chronic when left untreated. At Clark Chiropractic in Greensboro, NC, we provide non-invasive treatments to ease your symptoms and support your recovery. Before you visit us, learn how chiropractic care can be helpful with whiplash below:
What is Whiplash?
Whiplash occurs when your head and neck are suddenly moved forward or backward. This sudden movement can strain the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the neck, resulting in severe pain. While whiplash often happens during a rear-collision, it can also occur from contact sports or falls.
Symptoms of Whiplash
Those with whiplash may experience a variety of symptoms, including:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Reduced range of motion
- Numbness or tingling in the arms
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Blurry vision
How Chiropractic Care Addresses Whiplash
Our chiropractors utilize multiple methods to address whiplash. Some of these methods include:
- Spinal Adjustments: Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate nerve pressure while also reducing inflammation in the affected areas. Regular chiropractic adjustments can also significantly improve your body's mobility and range of motion.
- Soft Tissue Therapy: Soft tissue therapy techniques, such as myofascial release, massage, and trigger point therapy, can alleviate tension and improve circulation to help you recover.
- Spinal Decompression: Spinal decompression helps by gently stretching the spine, relieving pressure on compressed discs and nerves, which can reduce pain and promote healing.
- Corrective Exercises: Our chiropractors can teach you specific exercises to strengthen your neck muscles, increase your range of motion, and prevent further injury.
Before providing treatment, our auto accident chiropractors will speak with you about your symptoms and perform a physical exam. We will also monitor your progress during each appointment and make any changes to your care plan as needed.
