Chiropractic Care for Whiplash at St. Joseph Chiropractic

At St. Joseph Chiropractic, we regularly treat patients suffering from whiplash. This common condition is found in patients who have been involved in car accidents. Many people who suffer from whiplash fail to recognize the symptoms when it first occurs, which means they may go for days or weeks without seeking treatment. At St. Joseph Chiropractic, our trained chiropractor is adept at recognizing the symptoms of whiplash and can help patients get the treatment they need right away.

Symptoms of Whiplash

The symptoms of whiplash can vary depending on the patient. Some of the most common symptoms of whiplash include:

• Pain in the neck and shoulders

• Tenderness in the muscles of the back and neck

• Stiffness and limited mobility

• Dizziness

• Headache

• Difficulty focusing

• Irritability

• Insomnia

If you've recently been involved in a car accident and have one or all of these symptoms, you too could be suffering from whiplash. Seeing a chiropractor as soon as possible after your accident, even if symptoms are mild, can help you get the treatment you need to recover.

Chiropractic Care Provides Natural, Holistic Treatment in St. Joseph

At St. Joseph Chiropractic, we use the following methods to treat whiplash:

• Spinal adjustment. Spinal adjustment is a method of realigning the vertebrae of the spine. Spinal adjustment helps eliminate subluxations that can cause back pain, headaches and more.

• Stretches and exercises. We teach patients to perform stretches and exercises that can help them strengthen their injured muscles, regain mobility in their back and neck and contribute to the healing process.

• Cold laser therapy. Our cold laser therapy treatments stimulate the muscles and help improve blood flow to injured parts of the body. Cold laser therapy is a form of natural pain management and gentle healing.
