Whiplash and Neck Injuries - Holistic and Alternative Medicine Solutions

Whiplash Damage

Whiplash can be mild to severe. It can cause serious problems because it can cause long-term damage. Studies show that a large percentage of whiplash sufferers, from 50% to as much as 88%, may continue to suffer pain and some amount of disability for years after the accident.

Whiplash Symptoms

After the whiplash sufferer is out of immediate danger, and when it is safe to do so, their spine desperately needs to be checked by a doctor of chiropractic for spinal damage, called the vertebral subluxation complex. That is essential because many whiplash sufferers live in pain for years after the injury, forced to survive on painkillers, muscle relaxants and various therapies including surgery because the spinal damage a doctor of chiropractic can correct has not been eliminated. In many cases a visit to the chiropractor may give great releif safely, quickly and without drugs or surgery. Painkillers, muscle relaxers, sedatives or physical therapy cannot re-align the vertebrae and relieve the nervous system from pressure.

Old Whiplash?

Anyone who has ever had a whiplash injury, no matter how long ago, should see a chiropractor. Without structural integrity the spine will not heal properly and may develop problems years later. Arthritis and disc problems may develop years after the accident if the spine remains unaligned.
