Many of you have probably heard of the word “whiplash” before, and for the most part, you know what it means. It usually follows a car accident or traumatic injury that affects the spine. What happens is a force is transferred to the body, causing a very quick and violent bending motion of the neck. This stretches and compresses certain areas, leading to pain, decreased ROM, headaches, and general discomfort. Luckily, the doctors at McKinley Family Chiropractic are skilled in the treatment of whiplash and are ready to help you.

Through x-rays, range of motion testing, and nerve EMG scanning, the doctors at McKinley Family Chiropractic will provide you with a straightforward treatment plan that will help alleviate the symptoms of whiplash. The treatment plan will include specific adjustments to help the body’s nervous system calm down following your traumatic event. Recommendations on ergonomics and activity will also be provided to ensure a speedy recovery.

Whiplash symptoms are not fun, but you have a resource to help you through and back to feeling like your naturally healthy self. So, if you or anyone you know has recently had an accident and has whiplash, make sure to get an appointment to see the doctors at McKinley Family Chiropractic.

As always, if you have any questions, please ask one of the doctors at your next visit.
