Whiplash
Chiropractic
Pain and stiffness in
the neck which may not come on immediately, but develop over the following 24
to 48 hours.
You may have reduced range of movement in the cervical spine (neck). You
may have headaches, dizziness,
blurred vision (this should go within 24 hours, if they persist consult your
doctor), pain and stiffness may last a few days, to a few weeks, depending on
the severity.
The primary whiplash treatment for joint dysfunction, spinal
manipulation involves the chiropractor gently moving the involved joint into
the direction in which it is restricted.
Whiplash is common in
car accidents, due in part to the fact that the muscles do not have enough time
to brace during impact.
Simple cases of whiplash
are the result of strain or sprained or dysfunction of ligaments in the neck.
The muscles of the neck naturally spasm as a protective mechanism after an injury has occurred. This in turn can cause
spinal misalignment which can irritate nerves reducing the body’s ability to
heal itself.
