When you are dealing with pain, stiffness, and headaches from whiplash, it's time to see how Dr. Frank Aguilera at Aguilera Health & Wellness Center in Bakersfield, CA can help. Chiropractic care can make a big difference in your body's ability to heal from an injury. If you have been in an accident that has caused you to have whiplash, chiropractic is a gentle treatment that can help ease your symptoms.
Symptoms of Whiplash
Whiplash is a common injury when you are in an auto accident and hit directly from behind, or head on. When your head whips forward and back from the impact, the muscles, ligaments and tendons of your upper back and cervical spine become stretched and strained. Symptoms of whiplash include headaches, neck pain, poor range of motion, shoulder pain, and stiffness.
How Chiropractic Helps Whiplash
When you work with a chiropractor for a whiplash injury, a number of treatments may be used to ease up the tension in your muscles. Our chiropractor may use spinal adjustments, massage therapy, physio therapy or an exercise program to help you recover from the damage whiplash caused to your body. Adjustments help to get your spine into alignment, but they may need to be repeated several times a week in the early stages of treatment. As your body heals from your injuries, your spine has an easier time staying aligned.
