Treatments of Whiplash

A Whiplash treatment by a chiropractor in Richmond Hill, ON may include manipulation of spines, muscle relaxation, stabilization/sensorimotor activities to decrease pain, inflammation, swelling, range-of-motion limitations, headaches, or migraines that result from whiplash. Our Chiropractors at Richmond Hill Chiropractor, ON, specialize in Whiplash treatment and will provide you with the best possible care.

Muscle Relaxation

Manipulation Of Spine

Whiplash treatment may include manipulation of the spine. This is a chiropractic adjustment that can help reduce pain, improve your range of motion and mobility by restoring proper alignment to joints in your neck and back, or treat headaches resulting from whiplash.

Muscle Relaxation

Our Whiplash treatment at Richmond Hill Chiropractor may also include muscle relaxation techniques to treat your whiplash. Whiplash can cause your muscles to tighten up, leading to pain and discomfort. Our chiropractor will know how to use massage or stretching exercises to prevent this from happening. Our chiropractor may need to do more forceful stretching if the muscle is very tight.

Stabilization/Sensorimotor Activities

Our Whiplash treatment may also include stabilization/sensorimotor activities. Whiplash can lead to restriction of movement in the neck, which will usually need time to heal on its own before you can move normally again. At Richmond Hill Chiropractor, ON., chiropractors might use heat packs or ice treatments for pain relief and gentle range-of-motion exercises as part of their Whiplash treatment.

Osteopathic Manipulation

Osteopathic manipulation is a Whiplash treatment by chiropractors at Richmond Hill Chiropractor, ON, that may be used to reduce neck pain and stiffness.

In addition to treating mechanical pain (muscle, tendon, or bone pain caused to structural imbalance), our therapists use OMT to treat a wide range of other health issues, as well as help your body repair and heal itself.

Heat Or Ice Applications

Heat or ice applications may be used as Whiplash treatment. One of the most common Whiplash symptoms is a pain in the neck and back, which can usually be relieved by applying heat to these areas with hot compresses or a heating pad. Ice packs are also often used for Whiplash treatment because they reduce inflammation and swelling that results from Whiplash accidents.
