Whiplash might be the most common injury suffered in motor vehicle accidents. It is caused by the forceful and rapid acceleration of the neck and head as a result of an impact. It is also known as hyperextension or a hyperflexion injury when the force of an impact throws the head and neck in one direction and then suddenly in another. Whiplash affects the bones, discs, nerves, muscles, cartilage, and ligaments of the neck.
If the impact from an auto accident is severe, a cervical vertebra may become fractured. Most whiplash damage is acute and resolves over a couple of months. For some victims, it might become chronic and affect a person for years. Our chiropractors treat patients for whiplash symptoms and more at Duben Holistic Chiropractic Center in Westlake Village, CA.
Symptoms of whiplash might be immediate, or they can begin developing within a few days after an accident.
The key to chiropractic treatment is spinal adjustment. Spinal decompression therapy has been proven to be effective in treating the source of whiplash symptoms. Mild traction on a special adjustment table provides relief from muscle spasms that decrease your range of motion. It also works to expand the spaces between your vertebrae. In turn, that relieves pressure on bulging spinal discs and compressed nerves. All of this is done without the risks of surgery or the dangers of prescription or over-the-counter medications.
