Louisville Chiropractor For Whiplash Pain
Your body can be violently jarred in a car wreck. A common result is extensive pain in the head and neck. The good news is that you can see a Louisville chiropractor for whiplash pain. Let’s talk about whiplash.
The term “vertebral subluxation” refers to the misalignment or minor dislocation for the spinal bones (e.g. your vertebrae). When the vehicle impact occurs, forces are exerted on the car, which quickly transfers to the bodies of the driver and passengers. This sudden slamming can easily cause the head and neck to twist, stretch and snap back. This typically results in strain to the muscles, ligaments and discs between the vertebrae.
If you’re wearing your seatbelt at the time of the car wreck, your torso is restrained, but your head is unsupported and will whip to the front or side (depending on the direction of the oncoming vehicle). You may experience:
- Neck pain
- Inflammation
- Shoulder pain
- Nerve pain
- Headaches
- Tingling and/or numbness
- Difficulty focusing on tasks and maintaining concentration
An experienced chiropractor will do an initial exam to determine your treatment options. Sometimes, immobilization is the right approach. Once the body’s initial inflammation runs its course, chiropractic therapy can help to restore your alignment and heal those aches and pains.
