Culver City Chiropractic Office Helps Whiplash

Whiplash is one of the most prevalent ailments that people get after being involved in an automobile accident in Culver City CA. When a chiropractor schedules a visit with a patient after a vehicle accident, it is frequently to address the pain that follows from a whiplash injury sustained in the collision. Learn more about how our Culver City CA chiropractic practice may assist you.


WHAT EXACTLY IS WHIPLASH in Culver City CA?

When an automobile collision results in a neck injury, the word "whiplash" is used by the medical community to characterize the condition. Being struck from behind, sometimes known as being "rear-ended," is one of the most common types of automobile accidents, and it is also the one that is most likely to result in whiplash. It is the whipping back and forward of the head that causes this particular condition.


WHAT DETERMINES A WHIPLASH DIAGNOSIS?

Whenever a Culver City CA chiropractic clinic determines that you have sustained a whiplash injury, your complete spine will be examined to confirm that you only have neck damage. The chiropractor will examine any places that have a restricted range of motion, muscular spasm, overall weakness, or discomfort in the body. During the acute phase, you will most likely be unable to comfortably swivel your head and your head may hurt as a result. Your chiropractor will also feel around your neck and back to see if there are any sore or tight regions.


WHIPLASH TREATMENT WITH CHIROPRACTIC TECHNIQUES

In order to minimize inflammation when whiplash is still in the acute stage, a chiropractor may employ mild stretching, ultrasound, and other approaches to help the patient recover. You may also be recommended to apply ice to the affected area in order to minimize swelling. After the initial swelling has reduced and the pain has subsided, the therapy will shift to a spinal manipulation in order to restore the normal blood flow and mobility to your neck and shoulders.

No one wants to think about being in a vehicle accident, but when you're driving, you have little influence over whether or not you'll be hit from behind. If you believe you may have whiplash, the most important thing to do is get medical assistance as quickly as possible. Make an appointment with our team at Zalben Zone Chiropractic as soon as possible if you are not experiencing a medical emergency so that we can assess your case and begin providing the necessary chiropractic therapy.
