  • How to Recover from Whiplash After an Auto Accident
    How to Recover from Whiplash After an Auto AccidentBottom Line: Your spine is a long chain of bones, discs, muscles, and ligaments that extend from your skulldown to your tailbone. The cervical spine (your neck) is designed to support your head andprotect the nerves that go out to your face, shoulders, and arms. Whiplash injuries can createdamage to these delicate structures and can cause symptoms such as headaches, neck pain,stiffness, shoulder pain, numberless and tingling, or pain in your arms and hands. Why it Matters: Even minor damage to the ligaments of your neck can take up to 12 weeks to heal.Depending on the severity of the ligament tearing, these injuries may also be classified aspermanent. It's essential to control the inflammation early in your treatment and improve yourrange of motion. While it may seem strange that movement is a good thing if it hurts, we knowthat controlled movement can limit the amount of scar tissue that forms and may even increasethe healing rate. • Obtaining an accurate diagnosis with a complete examination and spinal imaging is the firststep towards determining the best plan of care to heal from your injuries.• Inflammation is a primary factor that causes pain and restricted movement after awhiplash injury.• Controlling inflammation naturally and reestablishing your range of motion can reduce yourpain and improve the results of your care. Next Steps: Chiropractors take a holistic approach to help you recover from whiplash by examining andtreating the injured muscles, ligaments, discs, and more. Chiropractors are considered essentialafter an accident because of our focus on improving your movement, biomechanics, andfunctional ability while reducing your pain. Schedule an appointment today if you are someoneyou know has been injured in a car accident. We're here to help guide their recovery process.  Science Source:https://thesmartchiropractor.com/science-sources/  Read more
  • Whiplash: How These Injuries Can Cause Chronic Pain
    Whiplash: How These Injuries Can Cause Chronic Pain  Bottom Line: Whiplash injuries used to be considered "no big deal." But times have changed. Doctors now know that whiplash can cause lifelong pain and disability if not properly cared for when they occur. During a car accident, your head moves forward and backward suddenly with a tremendous amount of force. Even low-speed collisions can generate enough force to injure the delicate ligaments in your neck that support your head. Why it Matters: During a whiplash injury, your head and neck extend beyond their normal range of motion. This can create partial tears or damage the muscles and ligaments around your spine and injure the spinal disc, nerves, or muscles. A few key indicators that you may have suffered a whiplash injury include neck pain and stiffness, headaches, dizziness, pain in your arms/shoulders. • Whiplash injuries are now considered severe and often permanent injuries that happen to the ligaments of the neck after the rapid back and forth motion that occurs during an accident. • Over 80% of people involved in a car accident will have whiplash injuries. • More than 50% of people with neck pain or whiplash after a car accident will continue to have pain one year after their initial injury. Next Steps: Receiving the proper diagnosis and care after a car accident can help reduce your likelihood of struggling with a lifetime of chronic neck pain. Our practice is focused on accurately assessing, documenting, and treating people who have been involved in a car accident to help them regain their quality of life as quickly and safely as possible. If you or someone you know has been involved in an auto accident and struggling with pain, please schedule an appointment with us today.
