Common Whiplash Treatment Techniques

Did you know that each year more than two million Americans suffer from whiplash? Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs from rapid back and forth movement of your neck similar to the cracking of a whip. Whiplash most often occurs after some type of car accident but can also be caused from sports accidents, falls, or other types of traumas. When you experience one of these traumas it’s important to see a medical professional as soon as possible. The severity of whiplash can vary from minor discomfort to extreme cases that can cause spinal injuries which could lead to permanent disabilities or even death. It’s important to take your health seriously and make sure you are treated after any type of accident. Whether your whiplash is minor or severe, you can benefit from treatments at Integrated Health Solutions. Our highly trained staff will conduct a thorough exam and work with you to create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Whiplash can be different for every person. Your treatment will depend on your specific case. 

What to Expect From Whiplash Treatments

Whiplash can cause neck pain and stiffness, reduced movement, headaches, dizziness, numbness in your arms, and more. There are a variety of different common treatments for individuals suffering from whiplash. Your doctor will tailor your treatment to your specific whiplash case. Some of the treatments you might benefit from would be:

• Chiropractic care– chiropractic care will use specialized movements to bring back mobility to an area and to reduce pain. Many people enjoy chiropractic care as it is noninvasive and does not require medication.
• Massage therapy– massage therapy is a great way to relieve pain from whiplash. It helps to better circulate the blood which reduces muscle tension.
• Physical rehabilitation- physical rehab works by introducing gentle, low stress stretches and exercises to increase movement and strengthen your neck muscles.
• Trigger point therapy– trigger point therapy can also be effective by targeting the sore muscles caused from whiplash.
