Whiplash

Comprehensive whiplash treatment from our Denton chiropractors aim to relieve pain and prevent permanent damage to the cervical spine. Patients who seek timely chiropractic care at Denton Chiropractic Center usually recover faster and have a lower risk of disability, ongoing pain or problems. Our auto accident injury treatment modalities include spinal adjustments to correct misalignment, reduce joint dysfunction, and regulate the nervous system. We also incorporate physical therapy, ultrasound, muscle stimulation, and myofascial release based on the need of each individual patient.

Whiplash

How Whiplash Happens

Whiplash, also known as a neck sprain/sprain, is a common type of auto accident injury that may result in serious damage to the cervical spine. The injury is caused by the impact of a collision that suddenly "whips" the head and neck backward then forward at lightning speed. The impact may herniate the discs, misalign the spine, or injure the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the neck.

Common Symptoms

The first sign of neck injury is typically acute neck pain or swelling. In many cases, the full range of symptoms may develop approximately 24 hours, weeks, or months after the accident. Patients usually complain of mild to debilitating pain when moving the neck or looking over the shoulder, headaches, blurred vision, or dizziness. The pain may intensify with movement or travel to the shoulder, chest, arm, hand, jaw, or back. Numbness, tingling, or weakness is possible if the spinal nerve gets pinched from pressure on the spine.

Chiropractic Care for Whiplash at Denton Chiropractic Center

Before treating you, your chiropractor will do a physical and spine evaluation to assess the extent of the damage to the joints, bones, discs, and tissue. X-rays will be taken to find the extent of the injury. Chiropractic care for neck injury from a car collision may include non-invasive spinal manipulation and spinal decompression. They provide long-term pain relief by addressing the musculoskeletal imbalances without using medication.

Your doctor will mobilize and realign the joints, bones, and discs by applying gentle pressure to the spine. This effectively relieves pain and promotes healing by easing the pressure on the nerve and soft tissue.

We may prescribe cervical spinal decompression to certain patients. The non-surgical technique is performed using motorized traction to gently stretch and restore the spine. This takes the pressure off the discs and nerve, alleviates musculoskeletal pain, and reduces inflammation.

Physical therapy, massage therapy, corrective exercises, proper posture, and good nutrition also help to maximize the results of your care with us.
