Whiplash associated disorder can be a painful, difficult, and even a longlife injury. Here at Back and Body NJ, we want to help avoid that by using chiropractic care. How does chiropractic care help with whiplash you ask? Today we will be showing you exactly how, with research to back it up.
Here at Back and Body NJ, we want you to feel full relief from your whiplash, and be able to return to your original state of work and play.
The main categories of treatment for whiplash are as follows:
- Acute (less than two week)
- Subacute (two to twelve weeks)
- Chronic (more than twelve weeks)
Using chiropractic care we can help to avoid this chronic stage altogether, so if you are feeling symptoms of whiplash, be sure to make an appointment with us right away.
There are studies done from 1980-2009 to even support the fact that chiropractic care helps with whiplash.
In the acute stage, exercise and mobilization treatments had the strongest research support. At Back and Body NJ, we use both of these treatments to help you out of pain.
In the subacute stage, “the use of interdisciplinary interventions and chiropractic manipulation” were the strongest. Although researchers conducted this information, more research needs to be done for this stage.
In the chronic stage, exercise programs, manual joint manipulation, and myofeedback were all seen as strong and effective treatments. Again, Back and Body NJ utilizes these exact treatments.
So now that you know how chiropractic helps with whiplash injuries, be sure to come and see us and Back and Body NJ to have your pain relieved.
