The Occurrence of Whiplash

Whiplash is an extremely painful condition that occurs when the cervical region of the spine is forcefully thrust forward then backward. There are several variables that determine the severity of whiplash injuries. These factors include the physical condition of the persons involved in the accident, their ages, the way their bodies were positioned at the time of the accident and the rate of speed the vehicles were going at the time of the accident. Weather conditions also play a role in how severe whiplash injuries can be.

Our Chiropractor’s Approach To Whiplash Treatment

Here in our office, our chiropractor takes a unique approach to whiplash treatment, as our treatments are designed based on the needs of each individual patient. The needs are determined based on the severity of the injury, and this includes understanding how the injuries were sustained, and what the patient was doing at the time of impact. When a patient comes into our office for whiplash treatment, our chiropractor conducts a thorough history and physical. We interview each patient to gather as much information as we can about the accident as well as their personal and family medical histories.

Once a complete history is obtained on our patients, our doctor will order and review x-rays and review them. Whiplash treatment plans are based on the findings of the exam, x-rays, and information obtained during the history and physical. Treatment plans for whiplash may include but are not limited to spinal adjustments, ultrasound therapy, cold laser therapy, muscle stimulation treatments and heat and cold treatments.
