Whiplash can create a lot of problems and secondary symptoms for the sufferer. Columbus chiropractors treat whiplash using non-surgical ways!

What is Whiplash?

Whiplash is basically an injury that occurs within the neck region, mainly caused by sudden/abrupt movements of the head, generally experienced during a motor vehicle accident or any other form of heavy collision. While whiplash is usually experienced as a result of a heavy fast thrusting of the head and neck, it could potentially occur while playing sports or any other related scenario where your neck could be whipped out of alignment.

What should you do if you’ve experienced whiplash?

If you’ve experienced a sudden impact on or around your head and neck, but aren’t feeling any pain as a result of the incident, we’d still heavily advise that you are thoroughly examined for any signs of trauma, because often in the case of Columbus chiropractors Treat Whiplash, it can take months or even years before you experience a single symptom.

Columbus Chiropractors Treat Whiplash

In most cases, the Columbus chiropractors Treat Whiplash treatment administered will vary from one person to another, since every person has a special case, but regardless of the eventual treatment suggested, it’s paramount that you gauge the potential severity of the incident as soon as possible after it has occurred.

If you’re still unsure about whether you should visit a chiropractor to be examined, here’s a list of symptoms experienced by whiplash victims.

Symptoms of Whiplash

  • Pain in the neck
  • Blurred vision
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Headache
  • Back pain
  • Jaw pain
  • Irritability
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Shoulder pain
  • Nausea
  • Vertigo
  • Tension across the shoulders

Chiropractic Treatments for Whiplash

When it comes to Whiplash treatment we can use the following approaches:

  • Muscle Relaxation

Chiropractics will perform this to correct muscles that are dysfunctional. We will physically and gently stretch the affected muscles thus causing them to get relaxed. This treatment is meant to ease muscle tension. Vigorous stretching can be applied if the muscle is very firm. Generally, the chiropractor will professionally press his/her finger on the affected areas.

  • Whiplash Manipulation

This treatment is for correcting spinal bones that have misaligned because of the whiplash injury. The chiropractor will gently direct the joint back to the normal alignment to correct the proper posture and structure of the spine. This whiplash treatment technique is also known as a Columbus Chiropractors Treat Whiplash adjustments. Thrust is used to get the spinal or the joint to where it is supposed to be. Slow mobilization movement can also be used by chiropractors instead of using thrust.

Chiropractic spinal manipulation has been shown to be one of the best ways to restore the alignment and integrity of the cervical spine and your neck. Any time you have neck pain, there is the involvement of the cervical spine.

  • Exercise and Stabilization

One of the prominent exercises used by chiropractors is known as the McKenzie Exercises. It is used to minimize the occurrence of disc derangement after the Columbus Chiropractors Treat Whiplash injury. The patient is trained on how to do the exercise whether at home or in the office. It involves simple movements. Additionally, specific traction and ligament rehabilitation exercises are used to correct the normal structure of the spine.

  • Conforming With Ergonomics

The last approach used in whiplash treatment is advising on how to live a life with minimal or no strain at all via the use of good ergonomics – for example, being taught how to sit with the correct posture. Generally, recommendations for this treatment will vary between cases.

Patients should lastly understand that Columbus Chiropractors Treat Whiplash injuries do have effective treatments and their injuries will determine what method our chiropractors will use.
