Sunnyvale Chiropractor Whiplash

Rapid back and forth movement that is too intense and immediate for your neck to absorb results is a condition known as whiplash; most often caused by forceful impact of a car collision or other strenuous and repetitive activities. Relying on pain medication alone to deal with whiplash pain may lead to serious problems later on. Mission Chiropractic chiropractors provide painless and effective chiropractic care that addresses whiplash symptoms to restore mobility and relieve chronic pain.

What Are the Physical Components of Whiplash Injury?

Whether due to a car collision, sports injury, work accident or any other cause, whiplash injuries can be serious and require prompt treatment from a licensed chiropractor. Mission Chiropractic specialists evaluate possible tears to muscles and ligaments that support the spine and balance vertebrae with carefully administered spinal adjustments that relieve irritated and compressed nerves.

What Are the Symptoms of Whiplash?

Although many people do their best to cope with neck stiffness and soreness with pain medications or other conventional medical procedures, improper treatment can result in the development of an acute degenerative condition and a range of musculoskeletal disorders. Mission Chiropractic chiropractors in Sunnyvale provide competent and complete cervical spine evaluations and chiropractic care to treat whiplash in addition to spinal manipulations. Manual therapies that treat soft tissue injuries, adapted massage therapy and other chiropractic techniques are customized to the severity of pain and lifestyle factors.
