Whiplash
Whiplash is a common injury that occurs when the head and neck are abruptly jerked back and forth, often as a result of a car accident or sports injury. This sudden movement can cause damage to the soft tissues in the neck, leading to pain, stiffness, and a range of other symptoms.
What Can I Do About Whiplash Symptoms?
While many people turn to traditional medical treatments for whiplash, including pain medication and physical therapy, these treatments may not always address the root cause of the issue.
In many cases, the upper cervical spine - the top two vertebrae in the neck (atlas C1 and axis C2) - may be the underlying source of the problem.
How Can Upper Cervical Care Help?
Upper cervical care is a specialized form of chiropractic care that focuses specifically on the top two vertebrae in the neck.
By correcting misalignments in these vertebrae, a chiropractor can help alleviate pain and discomfort associated with whiplash, as well as improve overall neck function.
Upper cervical care is a gentle, non-invasive approach that uses precise adjustments to correct misalignments in the upper cervical spine.
By restoring proper alignment to the spine and restoring the nervous system back to proper functioning, upper cervical care can help reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and alleviate pain and discomfort.
