How Your Oakville Whiplash Specialists Can Help?
Our chiropractic and physiotherapy team are experts at treating the spine and neck pain. Our qualified health professionals will begin with a thorough examination based on scientific analysis and years of experience to determine your diagnosis.
There are a number of techniques that can be used to help manage a whiplash injury. When the neck is forced forwards and backwards aggressively, as it is in a whiplash injury, the muscles in both the back and front of the neck can become strained.
The muscles are over-stretched, and as a defense mechanism they respond by contracting too much, and it leads to painfully stiff and tight muscles. In addition to the muscles involvement, the joints can also become jammed, stiff or stuck.
This can cause sharp pain that significantly affects the neck’s ability to move. Both these issues can have a big effect on one’s ability to carry out their daily activities. Make sure you ice after your whiplash injury from a car accident. Ever tried checking your blind-spot without turning your neck? Not easy. Ask our Whiplash Treatment Team for help!
Acupuncture For Whiplash
Acupuncture, performed by our chiropractor, Dr.Jenn, can be a very effective tool at managing neck pain of all origins, including whiplash. Whiplash is an injury that, without proper care, can become chronic and lead to months of discomfort and headaches. Acupuncture is a tool that can help in the acute stages of the injury, and even help the chronic cases reduce pain and improve function.
One of the biggest complaints we hear about whiplash is that the back of the head and neck feel very stiff. Sitting at a desk all day, picking up you children or even just laying down can be incredibly uncomfortable.
The tension in the neck muscles can be relieved with all types of treatment at our clinic. The muscles at the base of the skull, and the trapezius are common culprits in this muscular stiffness. Luckily, there are also some very effective acupuncture points to help ease pain from these muscles. Combine this with shockwave therapy for your whiplash conditions and you are on the fast road to recovery.
