Whiplash Symptoms Solution – Can Chiropractic Help Me?
Have you experienced whiplash? If so, there is a good chance that you are experiencing one or many of the following symptoms:
The most common way whiplash occurs is being involved in a motor vehicle accident. You could have been at a stop sign or a stoplight and you were rear-ended. Or, perhaps you were hit from the side which is commonly known as being “T-boned.” The easiest way to think about a whiplash injury is that the normal range of motion in your neck was exceeded, resulting in injuries to various tissues. The three most commonly injured tissues in a whiplash injury are the disks, facet joints, and muscles. You will commonly hear whiplash injuries being called “soft tissue injuries.” The resulting neck pain, headaches, and back pain cause injured individuals to seek whiplash symptoms solutions.
What can you do to ensure the best outcomes in reducing your pain and healing your whiplash related injuries? One of the most important recommendations may surprise you. The best outcomes actually occur in individuals who remain as active as they can after the injury. Many medical studies have shown that it is actually best to avoid prolonged inactivity. This point cannot be stressed enough. Many people have fear because they are experiencing pain and believe rest and inactivity would be best. However, inactivity will actually delay healing and increase the chances of your whiplash injuries and pain becoming chronic.
Thus, I always recommend that patients remain as active as possible. Now, that does not mean that you would push through painful ranges of motion. It means you go about your normal routine and if something causes too much pain you may need to avoid that activity or need to modify that activity. But, you want to keep moving through what are comfortable ranges of motion for you.
Thus, the best advice for whiplash symptoms solutions is to keep moving and to receive treatment that provides motion to the 3 most commonly injured structures in whiplash, the disk, facet joints, and muscles. Chiropractic adjustments positively affect the disk, facet joints, and muscles resulting in improved neck pain, back pain, headaches, and whiplash symptoms.
