Believe it or not, Burbank has many auto accidents each day resulting in Whiplash and other issues associated with car crashes. More often than not Whiplash is caused by a car accident, but that does not mean a slip and fall injury can't cause one as well. The sooner you can have an evaluation and begin treatment, the less time it will take to help reduce symptoms and decrease recovery time.

A few symptoms patients with whiplash might experience include:

Chiropractic Care for Whiplash

Chiropractic care can help with whiplash by helping to reduce inflammation with spinal manipulation, along with other various techniques and modalities, to help restore spinal motion within the joints in the neck. This is to help re-induce motion within your joints and take the pressure off of the surrounding structures, including the muscles and nerves, to allow better communication within the body. Proper Chiropractic Care will help to prevent muscle spasms, soreness, numbness/tingling, and headaches that is commonly associated with Whiplash whether or not is caused by an auto accident or a 'slip and fall' type injury.

Auto Accident Recovery From Your Burbank Chiropractor

During your visit to our Burbank office, the chiropractor will take a thorough history and perform an examination to determine the serious injuries that may have resulted from your auto accident. Your Chiropractor will then identify any injuries that might have taken place and possibly order any diagnostic tests, such as an x-ray or MRI, before beginning treatment. It is recommended that those who experience whiplash symptoms be evaluated by a medical professional immediately after an auto accident or any instance where the injury occurred. These steps are taken to ensure that you receive the best safe and appropriate care for your condition.

While whiplash is painful, recovery is possible with a detailed whiplash treatment plan from an experienced doctor.

A whiplash doctor can give more information about the causes as well as how to proceed with treatment.
