Auto Accident Whiplash Treatment

Whiplash Treatment in Columbus Ohio

Whiplash is a type of sprain that happens to your neck when you are in an accident. Even if the accident was at low speed, accidents are very serious and can have serious consequences to your body. Ligaments in your neck may be torn, your spine may retain damage, and your shoulders may misalign.

These injuries can cause long-lasting damage that can hinder your quality of life. It’s important to get looked at by a chiropractor after an accident. Sometimes even when someone does not feel pain immediately after a crash, pain and damage to one’s body may arise weeks or months later. Failing to see a chiropractor can result in loss of neck movement, pinching nerves, and chronic pain.

Chiropractic techniques for whiplash

Some of the ways a chiropractor may treat a patient is by using spinal manipulation, muscle relaxation, and muscle stimulation. By manipulating the spine, a chiropractor can reduce pinching of nerves and inflammation. Muscle relaxation helps in the recovery process by increasing circulation to heal torn muscles and ligaments. Electric muscle stimulation will help muscles that are damaged by contracting and strengthening them.
