Whiplash
Whiplash is a term that describes injury to the neck that occurs as a result of a motor vehicle or car accident. The most common type of car accident is the rear impact, and most typically, the occupant in the vehicle that gets "rear-ended" (hit from behind) is at the greatest risk of injury, including whiplash.
Whiplash injuries can be quite complex and may include a variety of related problems, such as joint dysfunction, disc herniation, and chronic pain.
Although whiplash is not life threatening, it should not be ignored. Over time, it can lead to a prolonged period of partial disability, and the discomfort of whiplash can be immense.
Chiropractic treatments of whip lash that have proven effective include manipulation, muscle relaxation and stimulation, and various exercises. These treatments helps the nervous system to coordinate and control movement patterns, improving the ability of the neck muscles to maintain the stability of the neck.
