Treating Whiplash Injuries

Whiplash happens when there is a sudden force causing an extension injury followed immediately by a flexion injury. This is usually associated with a car accident. During this injury, also known as a cervical sprain/strain, one or more of the following tissues can be injured or damaged: muscle, ligaments, tendons, bone, discs, and nerves. Common complaints after enduring a motor vehicle accident are: neck pain, headaches, lower and upper back pain, shoulder pain, fatigue, anxiety, dizziness, and cognitive problems. Jaw problems, wrist and ankle problems, and stomach issues are seen less frequently, but still seen none the less.

Many factors make a difference, both in terms of how injured you may be and how quickly you will recover, for example; the speed of both cars, your age, your sex, and your physical condition. Furthermore, although many symptoms manifest immediately some may take days, weeks and months to show up. This is why, no matter how you feel, you should get a thorough check up by a qualified specialist, such as a chiropractor. You should get a thorough examination and possibly further diagnostic testing such as x-rays or an MRI.

After an extensive examination, your doctor will recommend treatment. A typical course of treatment for a mild or moderate whiplash injury begins with passive therapies, such as chiropractic adjustments, electric stimulation, ice and/or heat, and possibly traction. Baring no complications, the next step would be probably be more active therapies such as exercise, including core work and balance or neuromuscular work.

Most mild whiplash injuries heal within three months to one year. Unfortunately, over 20% of those suffering from a whiplash injury, experience symptoms including pain, and loss of motion and strength more than two years after a car accident. Regrettably, some people never fully recover. Knowing this, make sure that you take care of yourself first. Document everything and get yourself to qualified physicians and attorneys that specialize in personal injury.

Auto Accident Treatment

Wham!! Your car just got rear-ended by inattentive driver (he was texting someone).

Your bumper is a little dented, and you feel jolted and a bit disoriented, but otherwise it wasn’t so bad. So, what do you do now?

Almost everyone has that question after a car accident. It’s natural; after all, it’s a fairly uncommon event in one’s life. After you deal with the car accident itself (calling the police, trading insurance information, getting the names of witnesses, taking photographs) the next step is to take care of your major asset. No, not your car. Take care of your body.

Trauma, Consider X-Rays

Injury First, visit your doctor, who, after a thorough examination can access the impact the accident had on you. He may take x-rays or even an MRI or it could begin and end with a simple physical exam. Your doctor may or may not recommend that you visit a chiropractor, depending on how open your doctor is to alternative treatments and understands the value of chiropractic care (which more and more are). If he simply writes you a prescription for a pain pill and doesn’t recommend any kind of therapeutic treatment, find yourself a new doctor, one that will do more than treat a symptom rather than the root cause.Your local chiropractor is fully qualified to deal with those people who have experienced serious physical trauma, like a car accident. Your treatment should begin with a thorough physical examination.

For example, in our office you would receive an orthopedic, neurological and structural examination and more than likely a series of x-rays. Following your examination, your chiropractor may recommend everything from applying ice for 48 hours to sore areas to a series of chiropractic adjustments, which are a very appropriate, and typical, treatment immediately following a car accident. A number of our accident patients, in the days just following an accident, have asked me if it’s okay for them to get a massage.

Our recommendation is to not get a massage in the first week following an auto accident, regardless of whether you were on the receiving or giving end of the event.

When your body goes through a traumatic event, a mechanism is triggered in your body to prevent you from doing further damage. That mechanism creates muscle spasms and pain, which effectively shuts you down from doing too much physically. This may not be a pleasant experience but it’s ultimately a good thing. It does prevent further damage and helps identify problem areas.

We recommend that our patients don’t get a massage in the days just following a car accident because it interrupts that important mechanism, and also puts you at risk for further damaging tissue and muscle that was harmed in the accident. Depending on a patient’s rate of recovery, We will recommend massage a week or two following the accident; it is a beneficial addition to most treatment plans.

We staff our office with experienced and licensed massage therapists (rather than sending our patients to a random therapist) so the therapist is clear about the physical issues created as a result of the car wreak and any other underlying issues could impact the massage treatment, and so that we can create and execute a treatment plan that gets my patients back to full health as soon as possible.
