Lansdale Chiropractor: Whiplash Injuries


Auto Accidents and Whiplash

After sustaining injuries from a car accident, one thing you are going to be seeking is a solution to the pain. Millions of Americans are in an auto accident every day, and one of the biggest results of an accident is whiplash.

               
Whiplash is an injury to the neck that is a result of your head being lashed back and forth in a quick motion, causing discomfort. Many issues can stem from whiplash, such as joint dysfunction and disc herniation. When whiplash occurs, the spine can tear or become loose, restricting range of movement and increasing pain.
               
If whiplash is not taken care of, you can suffer from chronic pain, faulty movement patterns, or cognitive and higher center dysfunction. When the nervous system is impacted due to a change in the spine, the way it controls the coordinated function of muscles can cause intense pain signals from the whiplash injury. Mental functioning and difficulties concentrating are also possible because of this type of injury.
               
One way that many people are seeking whiplash comfort is with chiropractic care. Chiropractors have studied the spine and the body for many years, as it is an ancient form of medicinal care. After a chiropractor examines your body, they can determine the best possible treatment for you.
               
This treatment can include manipulation, muscle relaxation or stimulation, various exercises, and lifestyle changes. Spinal manipulation is one of the most popular benefits of chiropractic care. It involves the chiropractor moving the joint into the direction that it is restricted from. This is what most people fear to be the painful experience, however it is not painful at all. Muscle relaxation and stimulation involve stretches to the injured muscle to help the muscle become loose and able to move more freely. Exercises and lifestyle changes can help benefit your overall health as it improves any pain and gives a sense of satisfaction.
               
Chiropractic care can benefit anyone that is suffering from pain after an auto accident. Whether you are suffering from whiplash or another body ailment, you can seek chiropractic care for you. A chiropractor will set up a treatment plan specific for your body enable to benefit you and promote overall health. Whiplash is a pain that can be solved if it is taken care of, without proper care it can cause issues for the rest of a person’s life.
