When you suffer from an auto accident injury like whiplash, it's important to get the treatment you need to manage the condition. Whiplash is painful and the symptoms don't always set in immediately. At Advantage Spine and Disc in Boise, Dr. Ricks and Dr. Litzinger work with patients who are dealing with the aftereffects of an auto accident and struggling with the pain, stiffness, and poor range of motion caused by whiplash. If you are dealing with an auto accident injury, it's time to work with one of our chiropractors.

Assessing Your Auto Accident Injury

A chiropractor will look at your injuries to create a care plan specific to your treatment. If you have whiplash, you might experience headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, or pain between your shoulder blades. You will go through an evaluation and be asked about your treatment goals. Once the parameters of your injuries have been established, you can begin treatment for your injuries.

Treatment for Whiplash with a Chiropractor

Cervical spinal adjustments are common when you have whiplash, in order to get your cervical spine into alignment. Soft tissue therapies, such as massage and ultrasound will improve your circulation. Cold therapy may be used to reduce inflammation. Your range of motion will be tested and you will be asked about your level of pain. Gentle stretches or electrical muscle stimulation may also be part of your care plan for whiplash injuries.
