Whiplash treatment is crucial in the days following an auto accident. If you are in a lot of pain after an accident, even if the accident was weeks or months ago, seeing a chiropractor is one of the best steps you can take. If you have recently been involved in an auto accident and live in or around Huntsville or Madison, contact Dr. Millar at Millar Chiropractic Clinics to schedule a consultation. Let’s take a look at some of the treatments that we use to provide pain relief and support the healing process for whiplash.
Spinal Manipulation
Our chiropractor will often incorporate spinal manipulation techniques into a treatment plan. The flexion-distraction technique is one of the most common options used in whiplash treatment. Other types of manipulation include instrument-assisted manipulation. These techniques are gentle and slow, allowing you to find relief that lasts for months.
Manual Therapy
To restore function and range of motion, our chiropractor may use manual therapy to adjust the musculoskeletal tissues. The treatments used as part of manual therapy include trigger point therapy and instrument-assisted therapy. Treatment for whiplash also incorporates massage, which can stimulate the muscles and relieve tension. Massage therapy encourages blood and lymph flow, which are beneficial for faster healing.
Other Treatment Modalities
Treatment modalities like ultrasound therapy and electrical muscle stimulation are used to treat muscle pain and reduced range of motion. These treatment modalities improve circulation and speed up the healing process by allowing more nutrients to get to the affected areas.
