If you have whiplash, the injury can reduce your range of motion and affect your daily activities. Not only that, but it can also become chronic without proper treatment. At American Integrated Healthcare in Mesquite, TX, we offer non-invasive treatments to relieve your discomfort and support your recovery.
What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash occurs when your head and neck are suddenly moved back and forth. This sudden movement can hyperextend the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the neck, resulting in severe pain. While whiplash often happens during rear-end collisions, it can also occur from contact sports or falls.
Symptoms to Watch For
Whiplash symptoms often include neck pain and stiffness, which may worsen with movement. Many individuals also experience headaches, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Additionally, some may notice tenderness in the shoulders and upper back, as well as dizziness or ringing in the ears.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractic care can be highly beneficial for whiplash. We often perform chiropractic adjustments to properly align the cervical spine and provide relief. Our chiropractors may also recommend cold laser therapy. This treatment stimulates cellular repair and increases blood flow, which can alleviate pain and improve mobility in the neck.
In addition to adjustments and cold laser therapy, we can teach you specific exercises to strengthen your neck muscles, increase your range of motion, and accelerate healing. All of our treatments are safe and non-invasive, meaning medications and surgical procedures are not necessary for your recovery.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
When you visit us, we will speak with you about your symptoms and conduct a physical exam. Once we understand your condition better, our chiropractor will develop a personalized treatment plan. We’ll also take time to address any questions or concerns you may have about your care plan.
