Whiplash injuries are commonly misunderstood. No matter if you get rear-ended in traffic or tumble over the handlebars on your bike, whiplash comes in many forms and can become a long-term problem if not treated correctly. Learn what muscles whiplash affects and which treatment options we offer at Optimal Health Chiropractic and Massage.
Neck muscles are most affected by whiplash, but there are many different muscle groups in the neck. Some may sustain more damage in the accident than others. Since our chiropractor has a thorough understanding of the musculoskeletal system, we can examine your neck and find all damaged tissue. Our treatment plan will reduce the pain and inflammation in your neck muscles, easing whiplash symptoms.
Shoulder muscles are often affected by whiplash too. You may feel pain between shoulder blades or along the shoulder muscles, depending on the accident.
Finally, back muscles can be affected as well. Even muscles in the low back could tense up as a result of the auto accident.
If you experience pain in any of these muscles, we can resolve it without the use of medication.
Depending on the specific injuries you sustained in the accident, we may incorporate these different treatment methods:
If you have been in an auto accident, it is critical to see our chiropractor right away. The sooner we are able to begin treatment, the faster and more complete your healing will be. Call us today at 425-361-1839 if you need to see a chiropractor for whiplash treatment.
