How a SE Portland Chiropractic Office Alleviates Whiplash

Whiplash is a painful injury caused by low impact auto accidents or, sometimes, by an over-exuberant tackle in contact sports or assault.

If you have been in a low impact crash, you should consider immediately contacting a SE Portland chiropractor. Chiropractic care is the only treatment for whiplash and should be started as soon as possible for best results. This often means starting care before symptoms become obvious - which can take a few days after the incident. If possible, find a chiropractor that offers same day appointments for emergency care.

Most chiropractors focus primarily on chronic conditions and maintenance care, but a good chiropractor has the skills to deal with acute injuries. On top of that, as chiropractors are often the first line for treatment of whiplash and back pain after accidents, they often have the knowledge of how to file the right paperwork and deal with insurance companies or lawyers.

Traditional medicine can often do little for musculo-skeletal damage after accidents. Whiplash is particularly problematic - a doctor is likely to prescribe painkillers and rest. In some cases, they prescribe too much rest, and it becomes counterproductive. A chiropractor will help fix the muscle tears and sprains and sometimes misalignment of the upper spine that results from whiplash without drugs or downtime, and much more effectively. They can also help prevent the development of long-term injury, which can happen after severe whiplash.

After an accident, the only thing on your mind is recovery (and getting your car fixed). The right chiropractor can help you focus on getting better rather than who is going to pay for it, and provide therapies that can help restore you to health faster. They will also be honest about when they cannot help you and you may need a referral. Accident victims should make an appointment right away so that they can be looked at before things get worse.

Discover Safe Car Accident Pain Relief with SE Portland Chiropractor

Following a car accident, many people experience some degree of pain. However, the rush of adrenaline that occurs on impact can temporarily mask the severity of pain. It's common to visit a hospital emergency room after an auto accident, but patients who are not experiencing intense pain are usually instructed to monitor themselves at home. They may be uncertain about how to proceed. It's recommended that they visit a chiropractor as soon as possible to minimize pain and accelerate recovery. A SE Portland chiropractor offers natural pain relief options, helps accident victims fill out paperwork, and addresses other injury-related concerns.

Whiplash is a back and neck injury most often caused by a rear-end car crash. Symptoms of whiplash, caused by a forced back-and-forth movement of the neck, include neck pain, stiffness, and headaches. While some people recover from whiplash within a few months, using pain medications, others are left with chronic pain and other problems. Chiropractors conduct a thorough physical exam, often using digital imaging, to tailor a therapeutic approach that is best suited to each patient's unique circumstances.

The SE Portland chiropractor usually administers chiropractic manipulations, or adjustments, consisting of short manual thrusts (or sometimes slow, mobilizing movements) to move affected joints in the neck and back in the direction in which they're restricted.
Gentle stretches may be applied to any muscles that are excessively tight or have limited mobility. For more severe cases, chiropractors apply increased pressure to trigger points to encourage muscle relaxation.

Exercise is frequently incorporated into a patient's rehabilitation plan. McKenzie exercises are simple movements that diminish disc derangement related to whiplash injuries. Sensorimotor and stabilization exercises may also be included. Initially, exercises are done in the practitioner's office, but patients can make them part of their routine at home to strengthen the body and reduce stress.
Low back pain is also common after an auto accident. Chiropractic has been known to provide effective, long-term relief from accident-related pain. The SE Portland chiropractor employs methods that alleviate immediate pain and prevent complications down the road.
