Trusted Henderson Chiropractic Office Helps Alleviate Whiplash Pain Naturally

By Jay Dy


Most whiplash injuries are caused by an automobile accident. The head is jerked forward rapidly and then back causing a misplacement of the vertebrae in the neck. The head is supported by them. There may be excruciating pain whenever the accident victim tries to turn her or his head. When the pain is disabling for residents of Henderson NV personal injury is alleviated in the office of a prominent chiropractor.

Each person is going to receive care that is individualized since each injury is different. Each victim responds in a different way to a car crash. Some may experience pain immediately after the accident. Others may have a delayed reaction.

The first step to providing care is the evaluation done by the chiropractor. Questions are asked about how the accident occurred, how soon the pain began and how disabling it is. The accident victim will demonstrate what head movement is still possible.

A physical exam is performed to determine the extent of the injury. The range-of-motion is assessed and an x-ray might be necessary. After a complete evaluation, the plan for care can be suggested. Each care plan is specifically tailored to suit each client.

Spinal adjustments may serve to relieve the pain by moving the subluxated vertebrae back into the correct position. When they are not in position, they may press against one of the nerves located at the spine. That may cause excruciating pain.

These spinal adjustments are the primary care usually administered to whiplash injured clients. Adjunctive care may be added to the plan. This includes muscle relaxation and stimulation and specifically designed stretching exercises.

Office appointments can be arranged to receive the adjustments. They are gently performed and will move the misaligned vertebrae back into the correct position. Thus, the pressure against one or more spinal nerves will be relieved. Pain will subside.

There is a finger pressure technique used to relax tight muscles. It is applied to specific trigger points. In addition, your care plan will include professional advice on all matters relating to your hurting. Lifestyle changes may be advised help manage the pain temporarily.
