Whiplash Treatment

Whiplash Doctors In Nashville, TN

If you have been in a car accident or suffered from a rear end auto collision, chances are good that you need therapy and treatment for whiplash. Often you will feel pain in your neck or back after an accident that results from the impact of the collision.

What Is Whiplash

Whiplash is the neck strain or injury that results from a jarring of the neck forward and backward or sideways. It often happens in car accidents when the whiplash victim is hit from behind. Simply defined, whiplash is neck strain. Damage is caused when the neck stretches and the muscles and tendons within the neck are affected resulting in muscle strain and other conditions. Range of motion may be greatly impacted with the whiplash patient having very limited ability to turn his or her neck in one or both directions following the collision. Whiplash can be minor or severe. It is a serious injury that can result in permanent damage.

Whiplash Therapy (Chiropractic Doctor Whiplash)

Whiplash injuries, while common, are considered serious injuries. Examples of the serious effects include the neck becoming unstable, spasms, extreme loss of range of motion, and even spinal fractures. Our Injury Doctors at Nashville Accident and Injury Center diagnose and treat your car accident injuries without invasive procedures or surgery. Whiplash treatment starts with a thorough diagnosis to determine the severity of your injuries. Severe whiplash can result in the straightening of the cervical vertebrae, which puts pressure on the nerves and soft tissues of the neck and can cause bones spurs if left untreated.

Whiplash treatment usually starts with non-force adjustments to reduce pain and restore range of motion and the curvature of the neck. By restoring the curvature, we are preventing further injuries and permanent loss of range of motion. Additional treatments may include stretching, strengthening exercises and laser therapy, which helps speed the healing process and restore range of motion.

Treatments That Can Help With Whiplash

How Does Chiropractic Care Help Whiplash?

Spinal misalignments and bulging, herniated and slipped discs are common during car accidents. Chiropractic care is effective at treating these ailments via manual and actuator adjustments, spinal decompression, laser therapy and spinal remodeling.

How Does Cold Laser Therapy Help Whiplash?

Laser therapy is used to treat Nashville car accident injuries by stimulating the deep tissues and cells of the body. Once properly stimulated, these cells start to regenerate, resulting in true healing.

Spinal Remodeling For Whiplash Injuries

Spinal remodeling is a specialized form of traction. It helps retrain the muscles and ligaments of the back. Once the ligaments and muscles are retrained, they are better able to support the spine, which helps heal current car accident injuries and helps prevent future back and neck injuries.
