| The Chiropractic Answer to Whiplash |
 Whiplash
is an all-too-common consequence of the more than one
million rear-end collisions that take place in the
United States every year. Although the classic
symptoms of whiplash(headache, dizziness, neck,
shoulder, jaw and/or arm pain) may subside after a few
weeks of appropriate care, itıs estimated that nearly
one in four cases will become chronic, resulting in
long-term discomfort and disability.
Chiropractic may offer the best opportunity for relief
from the pain of whiplash, according to a study
published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Medicine.
Ninety-three patients with chronic whiplash symptoms
were divided into three groups based upon the nature
and severity of their symptoms. All 93 patients
received an average of 19.3 chiropractic adjustments
over the study period (about four months).
Results showed that two of the three groups (patients
with neck pain, restricted neck range of motion and/or
neurological symptoms) improved under chiropractic
care, with 85.5% reporting "some benefit,"
33.5% improving by two symptom grades, and 31% being
relieved of all symptoms.
If you or a loved one is suffering from whiplash, make
an appointment with a doctor of chiropractic. As the
authors of this study conclude, when it comes to
treating whiplash,"chiropractic is the only
proven effective treatment."
