WHIPLASH & NECK INJURIES

Millions of people turn to chiropractic offices every year find relief of whiplash and other neck injuries. Whiplash can be mild to severe and can range from rapid healing to slow healing to long-term chronic pain and impairment. It can cause serious problems because it can cause long-term damange. Studies show that a large percentage of whiplash victims (50-88%) may continue to suffer pain and some amount of disability for years after an accident.

The problem with a lot of neck injuries or whiplash cases is symptoms do not always appear immediately. Sometimes it takes several days for a victim to feel the results of an injury.

If you have been involved in any type of accident the first thing you should do is go to the emergency room and verify there is no life-threatening damages (broken bones, bleeding, hemorrhaging, internal organ damage, etc). After it is determined the patient is out of immediate danger, it is imperative the patient has their spine checked by a chiropractor for life-threatening spinal damage. In many cases, going to visit the chiropractor can provide quick and safe relief to the sufferer without drugs or surgery.

OLD WHIPLASH INJURY?:
Anyone who has ever suffered from a whiplash injury, no matter how long ago, should have their spine examined by a Chiropractor. Even though X-ray or MRI might have shown no broken bones or ruptured discs, a spine can still be damaged by an injury and the results can linger for years afterwards. Chiropractic adjustment can relieve the spine of any pressure or interference caused by a whiplash injury, no matter how long ago the injury occurred.

Remember! Chiropractic helps release the power within your own body to heal itself without drugs, without surgery!
