Auto accidents are one of the leading causes of whiplash. Whiplash is an injury that takes place when your neck is thrust back-and-forth and side-to-side extending your muscles and tissues past their normal range of motion. This auto accident injury generally produces severe back pain and neck pain as well as stiffness and loss of mobility.It is important to seek treatment immediately after a collision accident. Injury symptoms may not show up right away, but the damage occurs upon impact. Chiropractic care is an effective way to treat whiplash. Our Atlanta chiropractor can effectively treat back pain and neck pain using chiropractic techniques. He will perform a comprehensive examination which may include X-rays to pinpoint the location of your muscular damage and how to effectively treat it. Once our chiropractor has diagnosed your problem he will design an individualized treatment plan.
Chiropractic Care and Physical Therapy Provide Pain Relief
Chiropractic adjustments will realign discs that slipped out of alignment from the force of your whiplash injury. Realignment helps relieve pain and stress on nerves. Regular, gentle spinal manipulations will restore natural alignment and provide the foundation for healing.
Massage therapy is another treatment we utilize in our Atlanta chiropractic office. Massage is an effective way to treat deep tissue damaged that is apparent when you have a whiplash injury. Deep tissue massage and hydro massage coupled with physical therapy is an effective treatment for whiplash sufferers.
