The Importance of Seeing a Chiropractor for Whiplash
Whiplash is one of the five most common injuries sustained in an auto accident. You can be moving as slow as 5mph and get injured because that’s how heavy cars are compared to humans. Make sure you come see our doctors at ChiroConcepts in McKinney as soon as you can after an auto accident. It can save you from years of pain and a lot of medical bills.
Understanding Whiplash
Even if you’re not in pain, we want you to come in. Whiplash can start off as an invisible injury and take up to several days for pain to set in. To uncover the full extent of your injuries we’ll perform a thorough evaluation, including motion testing and x-rays when deemed necessary. The sooner we treat whiplash, the faster and more thorough the recovery.
Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, the graston technique and/or physical therapy. Since whiplash is a soft tissue injury, chiropractic has several techniques that can address the root cause of your symptoms. We’ll help restore range of motion, reduce pain, and help your body heal.
Dry needling is another option because of how it can address trigger points, help your muscles un-knot, reduce pain, and promote nerve signaling at the injury site that promotes healing.
Graston is also effective at treating whiplash because of how the specially designed tools breaks up scar tissue and help restore range of motion. The graston technique is specifically designed to address soft tissue injuries and issues.
Physical therapy provides a great support role in treating whiplash. It tackles inflammation and stiffness by carefully improving blood flow, reducing swelling, and providing pain relief.
