Wy Chiropractic Care is Important
Whiplash typically results from incidents like car accidents, sports injuries, or work-related incidents, categorized as acceleration-deceleration injuries. In car accidents, rear-end collisions are a common cause. The head whips backward and then forward, leaving individuals with significant pain, particularly in the neck and shoulders. Whiplash patients often experience numbness, tingling, and shooting pain down the arms, hands, or fingers, along with frequent headaches. If you’ve ever been involved in a whiplash injury, it’s crucial to have your neck examined. Vertebrae can shift out of alignment, leading to nerve pinching and pressure. The nerves from the lower neck extend into the shoulders, upper extremities, and fingers, while those from the upper neck reach the back of the head, temples, and eyes, causing debilitating headaches. Fortunately, whiplash injuries are highly treatable with chiropractic care. Our approach may involve massage, stretching, and strengthening regimens tailored to your specific needs.
If you or someone you know has experienced a whiplash injury, it’s essential to get the spine checked promptly. Long-standing whiplash injuries can lead to more severe issues like disc injuries, herniated or bulging discs, and eventual arthritis in the neck. So, don’t hesitate to come in for an assessment. That’s it for today!
