Chiropractic Care for Whiplash at College Park Pain & Recovery
Unfortunately, car accidents happen each day, leaving many people with lingering injuries. Whiplash is one of the most common conditions people experience due to rear-end collisions. If you have been in a car accident, it’s essential to schedule a professional assessment immediately. While you may feel fine post-collision, most patients do not experience symptoms of whiplash until days after. Our team at College Park Pain & Recovery offers non-invasive treatment for patients in and around The Woodlands suffering from whiplash. Our chiropractors can diagnose the root cause of your symptoms and provide a personalized treatment plan to naturally alleviate your pain and prevent it from reoccurring.
What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a condition that is caused by a collision thrusting the head back and forth uncontrollably. This leads to stretching and tearing in the tendons and ligaments. Symptoms may develop over time, causing soreness and decreasing your range of motion. Symptoms can worsen if the condition is paired with a herniated disc or pinched nerve.
Symptoms of Whiplash
If you experience whiplash, the most common symptom you might experience is pain or stiffness in the neck. You may struggle with a limited range of motion or severe headaches. Other common symptoms include upper back pain, shoulder pain, dizziness, and numbness in the neck. Our chiropractors will work to alleviate these symptoms and restore mobility.
How Our Chiropractors Can Help
During your first consultation, we will discuss your current symptoms before delving into your medical history. From there, we will provide various tests to diagnose the source of your pain and develop a treatment based on your needs and wellness goals. One treatment option we often offer for patients suffering from whiplash is manual adjustments. Our chiropractors will work to gently realign the vertebrae, helping to restore spinal alignment. Following treatment, you will experience a reduction in pain and improvement in your mobility and range of motion.
Massage therapy can also be used to treat whiplash. This therapy can alleviate tension in the neck muscles and promote blood flow to the affected area. Our chiropractor will also recommend certain lifestyle changes to ease your pain as you are recovering. Lifestyle changes may include postural corrections, dietary modifications, and other changes to promote a faster recovery.
