Here at Donay Chiropractic, we treat many different types of injuries that affect the spine, but one of the most common is whiplash. Whiplash injuries occur when a collision, such as a car accident, causes the head to whip back and forth on the axis of the neck. The primary whiplash treatment we use for related muscle dysfunction is muscle stimulation and/or relaxation. That includes gentle stretches to the muscles experiencing excessive tension and repeated contractions of the muscle that is restricted. Our chiropractic care is highly effective for whiplash because it addresses the root cause of the pain rather than just masking the symptoms. By realigning the spine and promoting proper nerve function, we can help reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and accelerate the healing process.
