Whiplash is one of the most common injuries suffered in a car accident. It can cause severe neck and back pain and stiffness. You need to learn about the symptoms of this condition so that you know when you need to come to our clinic for treatment. We offer multiple highly effective treatment methods for this condition. At Horizon Health Care Group in Sandy Springs, GA, we can treat neck pain from any cause, including a car accident. Read on to learn more about car accident-related neck pain and how to treat it.
Common Symptoms
The most commonly reported symptom is severe neck and upper back pain. However, this is far from the only sign. In addition to pain, patients often report neck and upper back stiffness. They may feel like they can't turn their heads or nod. A neck injury from a car accident can even cause headaches. However, many patients do not initially think that headaches are related to their auto injury.
Treatments We Offer
The most effective treatment we offer for neck injuries is spinal adjustment. Many neck injuries are either caused or compounded by the spine being misaligned. Your chiropractor can gently adjust your upper spine so that it is back in alignment. This adjustment will reduce pain and help your body begin the healing process.
Massage therapy is effective for many auto accident injuries. In addition, massages from a skilled chiropractor can speed up the healing process. This healing is because the massage increases blood flow, which promotes faster healing.
Exercise therapy can also be helpful for your auto injury. It is often used in conjunction with another treatment method. You will get a regimen of exercises and stretches that you can perform in the comfort of your own home. These exercises will strengthen your neck and help it recover fully.
