Charlotte chiropractor provides chiropractic care for your whiplash

Whiplash is the term that explains the neck injuries associated with a motor vehicle accident.  Chiropractic care for whiplash is astonishingly effective. Usually, in an accident, whiplash is unavoidable. The reason for this is because no matter how fast your reflexes, no one can contract their neck muscles fast enough to prevent an injury. In the case of an auto collision whiplash can result from the sudden violent movement that incurs when the vehicle is suddenly thrown forward or in another direction.  What many patients fail to realize is that you do not need to be traveling at high speed for whiplash to occur. Another consideration is that often whiplash is not detectable for twenty-four to seventy-two hours after the accident.

Whiplash may not always be from an auto accident

Whiplash may not always involve auto accidents. Sudden movement can be self induced. One can be sitting at a desk and turn suddenly; you could be reaching for an item on the top shelf, or trip on a step.  Neck pain is considered to be a common condition by most people. Everyone has slept wrong on their neck and woke up with neck pain that can reduce your mobility for a half day, in such cases, neck pain is considered to be a minor annoyance. However, all pain is a warning from our body that something is amiss, so if the pain continues for more than a day, you really need to have your neck looked at to determine the level of injury.

Chiropractic treatment that without medication

Many individuals find chiropractic treatment to be the solution for their neck pain. The most appealing aspect of chiropractic care is that it does not involve the use of medications. Chiropractic care is based upon the doctor making a clear diagnosis and properly adjusting the joints to resolve the problem.  For whiplash or neck pain, chiropractors will perform cervical manipulation. Manipulating the cervical vertebrae back into alignment produces significant results such as reduction in pain and increased mobility. Chiropractic care is not only effective, it is gentle and pain free. The gentle manipulation is generally appreciated and well tolerated by most patients.
