Whiplash Treatment from Our Chiropractor
If you have been diagnosed with a case of whiplash, you probably want to find a treatment option that provides relief from the pain and discomfort you are experiencing. One way to relieve whiplash symptoms is by seeing our chiropractor for treatment. Contact Metro Denver Accident & Injury Centers in Westminster, Lakewood, or Aurora to get started with chiropractic care. Here is some information about whiplash and how our chiropractor can help if you are suffering from this condition.
Common Symptoms of Whiplash
Whiplash occurs when the neck is stretched outside of its normal range. Pain may not occur immediately; however, symptoms associated with whiplash usually show up within a day of the causal injury. Whiplash symptoms include stiffness of the neck; excessive pain when moving the neck; loss of range of motion in the neck; pain in the upper back, arms, or shoulder; and headaches at the base of the skull. Dizziness and lethargy may also be present.
How Whiplash is Diagnosed
When you visit our practitioner, you will be asked how your pain started and what actions you were conducting at the time discomfort began. Many people suffer from whiplash after a personal injury or automobile accident. Our chiropractor will conduct a few simple tests to find out your range of motion and intensity of pain to help determine what treatment to provide.
How Our Chiropractor Treats Whiplash
Our chiropractor will evaluate the extent of your injury to determine the best treatment plan to bring you relief. Manipulation of the spinal area is the process of gently moving restricted joints. This brings relief to many parts of the body, giving you an overall sense of wellness along with the promotion of healing to affected areas. Muscle relaxation and stimulation may be enhanced with help from massage procedures and electric stimulation machinery. Stretches and lifestyle changes will also assist in reducing whiplash pain.
