Some car accidents leave a driver in debilitating pain if the crash is forceful enough. But that doesn’t mean you have to live out the rest of your life in pain! Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Nitro, WV, is there for you when accidents happen. Dr. Jay McClanahan is experienced in finding the right treatment plan unique to a patient’s problem.
Whiplash is the most common injury from an auto accident. According to Mayo Clinic, “whiplash is a neck injury due to forceful, rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, like the cracking of a whip.” When a part of the body is whipped back and then forward beyond its normal range of motion, micro-tears form in the surrounding ligaments. Usually, it’s when the micro-tears start to swell that the symptoms begin. Symptoms of whiplash include:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Low back pain
- Blurred vision
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Shoulder pain
- Limited range of motion of the neck
- Arm pain
Chiropractic care not only treats these symptoms but corrects the root of the problem as well. A chiropractor takes a more holistic approach to treatment and avoids using drugs that only treat symptomatically. Dr. J helps relieve pain, restore mobility, and support long-term healing with a variety of techniques.
