Chiropractic for cervical whiplash
Do you know how Chiropractic can help you with cervical whiplash?
Now with summer, we move much more by car, vacations, going to the beach or the mountains, there are more traffic accidents, falls while walking, biking, skating, at the beach and in the pool, etc. And what happens if we don’t check the spine after an accident? We can have long-term effects, some very serious.
What is cervical whiplash?
It is the injury of one or more cervical vertebrae (the first vertebrae), which can occur when there is an inertial force on the head, for example in a car accident, being hit from behind, a strong fall, a bicycle accident, or while skating.
What symptoms does it have?
– Pain in the neck region
– Headaches
– Visual disturbances
– Dizziness and vertigo
– Weakness and lack of strength
– Paresthesia
– Concentration problems
– Psychological disturbances
– Litigation neurosis
All these symptoms can be felt in a short period of time after the accident.
And in the long term, do you know what happens?
That fall or accident that has not healed properly, that the cervical vertebrae have not been treated, will appear in the form of subluxation.
Chiropractic for cervical whiplash is very effective from the first adjustment, as it eliminates the subluxation created in the accident, and ensures that in the future you do not have a chronic ailment, inability to move, or even a disease derived from poor communication in your spine.
Recovery with chiropractic for cervical whiplash is not the same for all patients. It depends on the type of accident, any previous subluxations the patient may have, whether they have any illness, or if they are an active chiropractic patient.
How can we diagnose it?
First of all, with a cervical X-ray, if that is not enough, your Doctor of Chiropractic will request more types of diagnostic tests.
What is the success rate of healing?
If you treat whiplash within the first 24-48 hours, you have almost guaranteed success. You need to take relative rest, avoid overexertion, and follow the guidelines provided by your Doctor of Chiropractic.
