Written By Reyna Chiropractic Clinic on July 13, 2020

rsz whiplashresizedThanks to improvements in vehicle safety measures and seatbelt laws across the U.S., the overall auto accident fatality rate has seen a decline over the last 50 years. However, numbers are still rather high, with 2018 totaling 39,404 deaths across the nation. While fatalities may be seeing a decline, medical professionals and chiropractors alike are still seeing significant numbers of individuals seeking out whiplash treatment. 

The Dangers of Postponing Whiplash Treatment

Whiplash is a prevalent injury related to car accidents, and, unfortunately, it is one that is often ignored because it doesn’t show signs immediately. While symptoms of whiplash typically occur within the first 24 hours after an accident, it can sometimes take days for symptoms to present themselves. 

It’s essential to seek whiplash treatment immediately following an accident to prevent both minor and significant, long-term damages, including:

  • Damage to ligaments in the neck
  • Damage to the discs of your neck/spine
  • Damage to neck joints
  • Chronic pain in the neck, head, shoulders and arms 

Whiplash Treatment with Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors are in a unique place to help provide the best, natural whiplash treatment to those seeking it. Why – because they utilize several methods to help realign the body to help it heal properly. Some treatment methods include:

Each whiplash treatment option is carefully customized to each patient to ensure recovery. Your chiropractic professional will take time to discuss not only your accident but your entire health history, conduct a physical examination, and may take some X-rays to see where your alignment stands at the moment. With all this information on hand, they will create a customized whiplash treatment plan for you.
