Treating Symptoms from Whiplash With Chiropractic Care
Whiplash is a common auto injury that causes neck pain and stiffness, headaches and migraines, trouble moving the neck or head, dizziness, and shoulder pain. At Marshall Family Chiropractic, Dr. Eric Marshall can diagnose whiplash and provide safe, drug-free whiplash treatment in Saint Clair, MI. Here is a look at how he treats symptoms of whiplash with chiropractic care.
Neck Pain and Stiffness
The most common symptoms of whiplash are neck pain and stiffness. Dr. Marshall can address your underlying soft tissue and nerve injuries with chiropractic adjustments. A chiropractic adjustment can relieve pressure on your neck muscles and nerves and allow oxygen, blood, and nutrients to flow freely through your cervical spine. He can also recommend therapeutic exercises and stretches to reduce stiffness and restore circulation and range of motion in your neck.
Headaches and Migraines
Cervicogenic headaches are a complication of whiplash. Some people also start having migraines as a complication of the pain and stress caused by whiplash. Dr. Marshall can perform a cervical adjustment to restore the alignment of your cervical spine and reduce the inflammation and strain that leads to headaches and migraines.
Loss of Range of Motion of the Neck
In addition to neck stiffness, you may find it hard to move your head up and down or from side to side without pain. Chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercise, and RockTape kinesiology tape can stabilize the neck and reduce pain, swelling, inflammation, and stiffness. Dr. Marshall’s treatment plan can restore range of motion and prevent chronic stiffness and other whiplash complications.
Nerve Pain
If you experienced nerve damage or injury as a result of your whiplash injury, Dr. Marshall can help you find relief. He offers PEMF, or Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field therapy for nerve damage and nerve pain. PEMF accelerates the healing process at the cellular level and can improve circulation and improve healing time for damaged or injured nerves.
