Chiropractic Care to Prevent the Long-Term Results of Whiplash!
Whiplash occurs when the neck is abruptly or chronically forced beyond it’s normal range of motion. This action results in painful injury and inflammation of the ligaments, tendons and muscles in your neck. Auto-accidents or sports injuries are common causes of whiplash. Whiplash can also be caused by constantly holding your neck in an awkward position such as talking on the phone while resting the phone on your shoulder.
Though the latter can be avoided, car accidents and sports injuries cannot always be avoided. The sooner you receive chiropractic care for whiplash, the better long-term results you will see. Debilitating, chronic conditions can result from neck injuries that only get worse with time. Fusion of the discs can take place and additional misalignment and muscle injury occurs as you compensate for the pain in your neck. Chronic headaches are also common after a neck injury.
Elderly people with limited neck mobility often experienced an injury to their necks earlier in life. Chiropractic care in Framingham, MA and elsewhere will relieve the inflammation and reduce further damage.
