Whiplash Is An Injury That Our Chiropractor Can Treat

Whiplash is a neck strain that can cause other health problems if it is not treated as soon as it happens. In San Antonio, Texas, Dr. Phillips, our chiropractor at Dr. Phillips Chiropractic Nutrition And Wellness, can diagnose and treat whiplash with natural, holistic methods. If you have been in a car accident and have severe neck pain, then the below information can help you understand how our chiropractor can relieve your neck injury.

Two Ways a Chiropractor Helps with Whiplash

Whiplash is the most common injury that occurs after a car accident. The pain and stiffness from whiplash can cause reduced range of motion and headaches. Treatment for it does not have to be relieved with medication. Chiropractic care is a non-invasive and drug-free method that can promote health and wellness, improve movement, and significantly minimize pain. Below are two therapies from chiropractic care that can treat whiplash.

Spinal Manipulation: Dr. Phillips will identify areas along the spinal column that will need to be put back into alignment. Spinal manipulation involves a chiropractor placing a quick and controlled thrust to the spine. Once the spine is aligned, there is almost an immediate pain reduction.

Massage Therapy and Rehab Exercises: Whiplash can inflame the surrounding tissues in the neck, thus reducing your range of motion. Massage therapy and strengthening and stretching exercises can help decrease inflammation and return neck movement.
