Whiplash Injuries Cause Pain
Whiplash Injuries can cause pain to the neck, shoulders, and back. Everyone that experiences whiplash injuries will have a unique set of circumstances and unique pain. Very few cases are alike. Therefore, the treatment may vary from patient to patient. This injury type is common in rear-ended automobile accidents.
Whiplash is described as the Rapid movement of the neck backwards then forwards. A reversal of the movements may also apply. Since each injury is different, the level of pain is often different. Consequently the treatment possibilities employed are frequently different as well.
Whiplash Injuries Cause Pain and Problems;
A chiropractor or doctor may decide to begin whiplash
injuries treatment with over the counter pain relief. A prescription pain medicine may also be part of your treatment. Muscle relaxers can be part of the prescription drug treatment and recovery process as well. Limited movement and bed rest are almost certainly going to be included in the recovery process. Your neck, shoulders, and back may feel stiff, as well as, include mild to severe pain. This stiffness is perfectly normal and usually will diminish very slowly. Be patient!
Exercise, massage therapy, spinal manipulation, as well as, other chiropractic technics may be employed to reduce or eliminate pain and discomfort. The body has an amazing ability to often times heal itself. This is where nutrition, exercise and rest come in to play. Listen to the professional advice given to you by a chiropractor or doctor. Whiplash injuries are more common than you may think. Rear-end auto accidents are responsible for many whiplash injuries, but they can occur in many other situations. Athletics, occupations, and physical abuse also contribute to this very problematic health issue.
Don’t let whiplash injuries go unattended. Rest is always a great idea, but see a professional to be certain that a serious problem or injury has not occurred. Your chiropractor or doctor with a basic exam is well equipped to diagnose your unique situation.
Whiplash is certainly painful, and sometimes it can take longer than one would expect to fully heal. I agree that treatment should include multiple approaches as each case is so unique. We always think of chiropractic care and muscle relaxers, but nutrition and rest play an equally vital role.
I don’t think we fully realize the strain whiplash can cause to our spine. The spine plays one of the biggest roles in our ability to functional comfortable – it’s important to make sure it is taken good care of. Like you said, rest helps, but it’s important if you are feeling any kind of pain to get it looked at by a chiropractor or doctor.
