1. Can a Chiropractor Help
Me With My Whiplash?
Dr. David Dresner, DC

2. Every year, around 120,000 incidents of whiplash are
recorded in the United States.
Whiplash is a general term used to describe injuries of the
neck due to a sudden stop which causes a fast backward
and forward movement, like the lashing of a whip.
This causes much strain on the neck muscles and the spine.

3. Whiplash is most commonly caused by motor
accidents.
The jolt that results from the sudden stop of a vehicle that
was previously moving at a steady speed usually results in
a forceful impact.
The average human head weighs around 5 kilograms. But it
becomes heavier when there’s a rapid backward and
forward movement that gives tension to the neck muscles
and ligaments.

4. Chiropractic care is a widely
known treatment for whiplash.
When you suffer from whiplash
and consult a chiropractor, you
will be asked to undergo a
thorough physical examination.
The details of the incident that
caused the whiplash are helpful in diagnosing the extent of
the injury so it’s important that you remember what
happened to you.

5. Dr. Dresner is an experienced Wellington
Chiropractor who can help you if you are suffering
from whiplash through careful diagnosis and
appropriate chiropractic treatment.
On the first visit, Dr. Dresner will ask you about the
incident that took place and how the whiplash occurred
while assessing your condition. You may be asked to
have further examinations like X-ray to evaluate the
damage to your bones.

6. Common symptoms of whiplash are pain and stiffness
of the neck, headache, back pain and sometimes even
chest pain.
In some cases, you may also experience blurred vision and
nausea. Your symptoms vary depending on the incident
and the force of impact but neck pain is almost always
experienced. It is interesting to note that these symptoms
may occur between 2 to 48 hours after the incident.

7. Whiplash treatment suggestions by Dr. Dresner may
include, but are not limited to, spinal manipulation, muscle
relaxation or stimulation, sensory motor activities, and
some advice on lifestyle changes.

8. Spinal adjustment or manipulation of the spine is the
main treatment to avoid further inflammation or damage
to your nervous system.
Massages and relaxation of the muscles will help
strengthen the injured areas. Exercises can help you in
regaining the normal activities of the body parts that have
been damaged.

9. Since whiplash would prevent you from doing your usual
activities for a time due to limited movements, some
activities must be done differently to avoid straining
already affected areas.
This is why lifestyle changes are also often suggested. Rest
is very important in the healing process to prevent you
from getting any more injuries. Each treatment plan is
designed to help you with your specific needs.

10. If you are suffering from the discomforts of whiplash, it is
important that you call a chiropractor immediately to get
the right treatment plan.
