Whiplash: How These Injuries Can Cause Chronic Pain
Bottom Line:
Whiplash is the term used to describe the injuries that occur as a direct result of a forceful, uncontrolled, and rapid back and forth motion of the neck.
These injuries can occur during sports, slip and fall, or auto accidents. Most of us have heard of this type of injury. Most of us know whiplash pain is often associated with auto accidents.
However, what we may not know is that whiplash injuries used to be considered “no big deal.” Needless to say, times have certainly changed. Doctors now know that whiplash pain can mean lifelong pain and disability if the associated injuries are not properly cared for when they occur.
Recent research also tells us that people who suffer a neck injury during a motor vehicle accident are very likely to experience both whiplash pain and future neck pain.
Thankfully, research also indicates that chiropractic care can improve range of motion and decrease pain associated with whiplash injuries. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who treats whiplash in Hallettsville, you’ve come to the right place!
