Whiplash

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries experienced after a car accident, but it’s an injury that can occur after any type of forceful impact on the body. It leads to a great deal of pain and suffering, leaving people searching for any relief possible. If you have been in an accident and live in or around Pittsburgh, contact Grice Chiropractic for whiplash treatment.

What Is Whiplash and What Symptoms Does It Cause?

Like the rest of your body, your neck contains several muscles and other soft tissues to help it function properly. If your body is hit – like in a car accident or a football tackle – your head tends to whip back and forth suddenly.

When your head moves violently, the soft tissues tend to end up with tears in them. It can be even worse if you tense up before the accident. These tears can not only cause pain and inflammation but also impact the joints and nerves. Sufferers often deal with headaches, limited range of motion, tension, and difficulty focusing. It can also affect your quality of sleep.

Chiropractic Care for Whiplash

Chiropractic care is an effective and holistic way to treat whiplash. Our chiropractors at Grice Chiropractic will examine your spine, looking for any issues that may contribute to the pain. We will then develop a treatment plan to address these issues. This can include any or all of the following treatment options depending on your needs.

  • Spinal adjustments: Adjustments are often the core of pain relief as they are responsible for moving every joint back into place. This helps decompress your nerves, discs, and muscles to relieve pain and tension.
  • Massage therapy: Chiropractic massage is used to relieve tension and inflammation in targeted areas. It also improves blood flow, which can help the body heal more quickly.
  • Cold laser therapy: This is a treatment in which low levels of laser light are used to target and heal soft tissue damage.
  • Spinal decompression: Decompression therapy is beneficial for gently stretching the vertebra to relieve pain, tension, bulging discs, and more.
