Whiplash Treatment

Whiplash occurs when the neck is forced backward and forward quickly, in the same way that a whip cracks. Whiplash is common during rear-end car accidents, but it can also occur during a sports accident or during a physical assault. Our Dallas chiropractors at CoreHealth Wellness Center can treat with your whiplash injury with our many chiropractic care treatment methods.

What Are the Symptoms Of Whiplash?

In some cases, the symptoms begin right after the accident. At other times, it can take up to 24-hours or longer for the symptoms to occur. The symptoms of whiplash can be very painful and can include:

• Pain and stiffness in the neck

• Loss of range of motion

• Pain in the back of the head at the bottom of the skull

• Pain in the upper back and shoulders

• Tingling in the arms

• Fatigue

How Can a Chiropractor Treat Whiplash?

There are several chiropractic treatment methods available to treat your symptoms and help you heal faster. They include:

• Chiropractic Adjustment: During your accident, your body can become misaligned, which is where much of the pain comes from. Our chiropractors can perform an adjustment to realign your spine properly.

• Therapeutic Ultrasound Therapy: Ultrasound produces sound waves that heat up the muscles in the back of the neck. This can relieve the inflammation and increase blood flow, which promotes healing. Whiplash can make moving your neck difficult, which can cause knots in your neck muscles. Ultrasound therapy can get rid of the knots, relieving the pain and increasing your range of motion.
