Whiplash Treatment with Chiropractic Care in Springfield

What are Common Symptoms of Whiplash?

A whiplash is an advanced form of neck injury caused by an auto accident or other trauma to the head and neck. When you are involved in a car crash, your body is jerked suddenly creating stress on your neck muscles and bones. As a result, your neck muscles are torn causing inflammation that makes it difficult to move your neck. At the same time, you may have herniated discs in your upper spine that adds to the inflammation and swelling. Whiplash starts out as neck pain but advances in a loss of mobility in your neck and shoulders.

How Can a Chiropractor Treat Your Whiplash?

At Meek Integrative Health Center, we begin treating whiplash with a chiropractic diagnosis to determine where your neck injury is located. If you have a herniated disc we work with spinal decompression to relieve the pressure in the vertebrae and help the disc return to its normal position. If you suffer from torn neck muscles, we can use acupuncture treatments to improve circulation and speed up healing.

When Should You Visit a Chiropractor for Whiplash?

We recommend you visit our chiropractor as soon as you have an auto accident injury. The majority of car accident victims we treat have some form of neck injury due to the impact of the crash. This neck injury can develop into whiplash without treatment immediately. In addition, your auto accident insurance may not cover your treatment if you delay care.
