Effective whiplash pain treatment for a healthy, pain-free life

Whiplash pain is the most common injury that individuals face if they have been involved in a wreck or car accident. Although whiplash may result from rear, side or frontal impacts, rear-end collisions account for about 85% of all whiplash associated disorders. The clinical syndrome of whiplash can involve more than just neck pain, other symptoms include stiffness, headaches, dizziness, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), blurred vision, pain, numbness and/or tingling in the shoulder, arms hands or fingers.


Additional whiplash symptoms may include eye pain, photophobia (avoidance of light), watery eyes, double vision, ear pressure, hearing loss, face or jaw pain, clenching or grinding teeth, TMJ pain or popping, difficulty swallowing, choking sensations, runny nose, nose bleeds, sinus congestion, hoarseness, increased snoring, insomnia, fatigue, nightmares, depression, irritability, cognitive difficulties, poor concentration, forgetfulness, personality changes and even social withdrawal.


Less serious cases of whiplash may only have neck complaints, most involve neck and additional musculoskeletal conditions, and the most serious are complicated by additional neurologic signs and symptoms. The mechanism of whiplash causes stretching of the muscles and ligaments of the neck and shoulder beyond the normal range of motion. If force exceeds the physiologic limit there is loss of integrity due to tearing of these anatomic structures.


Researchers assert that spinal joint dysfunction and myofascial pain syndrome are the greatest cause of musculoskeletal disorders in patients with whiplash injury. Whiplash leads to inflammation and pain, which is why it’s so important to get the right whiplash treatment immediately. Mount Pleasant Health Center specializes in providing whiplash pain treatment that eases pain and promotes healing of the damaged structures. Some of the most effective whiplash pain treatments are joint mobilization, manipulation and chiropractic adjustments, which restore maximal pain-free movement of the spine and musculoskeletal system.


While the most common reason that people face this problem is due to a car crashes, it can also arise from high or low impact injuries such as a sudden fall, amusement park ride, bumpy boat ride, or other quick acceleration-deceleration of the cervical spine or head. Instead of just treating the point where you feel the pain, a chiropractor evaluates your spine, muscles and body as a whole to search for other parts that have been traumatized. Ignoring these areas may eventually lead to pain and restricted movement elsewhere.


After all the other regions are examined, we'll let you know the appropriate treatments for you and how we plan to get started on them. Apart from whiplash pain treatment, a skilled chiropractor can also treat many other conditions including back and neck pain, chronic low back pain, headaches related to the neck, sciatica / lumbar radiculitis, coccydynia (tailbone pain), dizziness, degenerative disc disease, other auto accident injuries and more. Dr. Sam Curtis of the Mount Pleasant Health Center is a second-generation chiropractor proudly serving those suffering from these conditions in the Charleston and Mount Pleasant areas.


Needless to say, you'll be in great hands when you choose Mount Pleasant Health Center. Every patient is treated differently from each other depending upon their conditions and the underlying causes. When it comes to whiplash pain treatment, different techniques and therapies such as spinal adjustments, muscle stimulation, ultrasound, low level laser and other chiropractic methods are used to ease the pain and facilitate recovery. This is a common injury that many think will simply go away, but that could lead to scar tissue, adhesions, chronic pain and even permanent impairment. Don’t ignore these problems!


If you or your loved one has recently been involved in a car accident or wreck, Mount Pleasant Health Center can give your body the chiropractic care and whiplash pain treatment it needs to fully recover. Chiropractors understand that the human body is interconnected and pain relief isn't something that can happen with temporary solutions by covering up symptoms with drugs. Chiropractic care is a great way to get back to being productive and enjoying your life in the most painless way possible.


We examine the cause of the pain and develop a tailored treatment depending on the severity of the injury. This allows you to receive long-term pain relief. All chiropractic treatments are done in an all-natural way without drugs or surgery. Whiplash can be a lot more painful than other neck pain generators. The symptoms of whiplash may start to show within a few hours of the impact, or they may be delayed by days, weeks or even months. By consulting a skilled chiropractor, not only will you stop the injury from degenerating further but will also be able to overcome it for a pain-free future.
