If you have experienced a neck or head injury through a motor vehicle accident (MVA), sports or work injury, Core Wellness Centre offers whiplash injury treatment with a full comprehensive program to get you back to living pain-free fast.

Whiplash is a serious injury and needs to be treated properly and quickly as a chiropractor can help with headaches and other whiplash symptoms.  The most common cause of whiplash is involvement in an automobile accident.

The injury is sustained when the head is thrown rapidly forward and backward such as it would when one vehicle strikes another from behind.

  • neck pain and stiffness

Whiplash itself is a sprain type of injury to the soft tissues such as the ligaments and tendons.

Sometimes these injuries show immediate symptoms, but it can take some time to develop, even years, which is why any neck injury should be evaluated by a chiropractor and physiotherapist.

What if I Feel Fine?

In the past, it was hard to diagnose and prove a whiplash injury since the affected areas are not bone and do not show up on x-rays.

More recently these injuries are being evaluated by a CAT scan, MRI or ultrasound which can show these areas of soft tissue that are affected.  Core Wellness Centre provides in-house x-rays if required.

Many will suffer whiplash pain in their shoulder, neck or at the base of the skull.

In any accident you should be evaluated by a chiropractor or a doctor no matter how you feel after the accident, especially if your whiplash pain is getting worse.

Sometimes injuries, especially whiplash, do not begin to cause symptoms right away. In fact, it can be days, weeks or even years before symptoms manifest and some patients report they have had whiplash pain after 6 months or more.

What are the Variables in Whiplash Injury?

One variable leading to greater injury is vehicle size. Persons in a situation where their vehicle is struck by a larger vehicle suffer greater injuries; however, even in situations where the vehicles are roughly the same size, serious injury can still occur.

Even at very low speeds the force on the neck is more than
enough to cause whiplash.

Whiplash Injury Treatment – How Can Core Wellness Centre Help?

 

At Core Wellness Centre, we offer comprehensive treatment with Chiropractic Care, Physiotherapy, RMT Massage and Osteopathy to help you fully recover from a whiplash injury.

Initial treatment involves the muscles in the injured area and a program of muscle relaxation and stimulation to assist the affected muscles return to normal.

If the affected muscles are extremely tight, a more dynamic stretch
is applied to release that tension and a massage of associated
trigger points can help muscles relax.

Other exercises such as McKenzie exercises consist of exercises to move pain from the extremities to the back where it can be better tolerated.

Other exercises are designed to adjust movement patterns in the normal course of daily activities to minimize pain and to train the body to control movement patterns which improves the stability of the muscles to increase the muscle’s ability to maintain the stability of the neck.
