Trusted Henderson Chiropractic Office Helps Alleviate Whiplash Pain

Trusted Henderson Chiropractic Office Helps Alleviate Whiplash Pain


by Jay Dy


Most whiplash injuries are caused by an automobile accident. The head is jerked forward rapidly and then back causing a misplacement of the vertebrae in the neck. The head is supported by them. There may be excruciating pain whenever the accident victim tries to turn her or his head. When the pain is disabling for residents of Henderson NV personal injury is alleviated in the office of a prominent chiropractor.

No two people have the exact same injuries. Everyone responds in a slightly different way. Some may be in acute pain immediately. Others may have a delayed reaction and feel it a day or two later.

When a new client goes to the chiropractic clinic a complete evaluation is conducted. Questions are asked and answered about the accident. It is important to note how soon the pain started and how much movement is still possible.

The physical examination will determine the severity of the injury. In addition to evaluation of the range of motion, an x-ray may be needed. When the evaluation is completed, a care plan can be arranged that is specific to the needs of each client.

Spinal adjustments may serve to relieve the pain by moving the subluxated vertebrae back into the correct position. When they are not in position, they may press against one of the nerves located at the spine. That may cause excruciating pain.

Typically, the primary care for whiplash injuries is spinal adjustment. Possibly, there will be adjunctive care including specifically designed gentle exercises. In some cases muscle relaxation or stimulation is also added to the care plan.

Office appointments can be arranged to receive the adjustments. They are gently performed and will move the misaligned vertebrae back into the correct position. Thus, the pressure against one or more spinal nerves will be relieved. Pain will subside.

In addition to the finger pressure technique used to relax muscles, a series of gentle stretching exercises may be designed for you. These will keep muscles loose between office visits. In addition, you have the benefit of professional advice relating to everything you can do to alleviate the hurt you have been suffering.
