How A SE Portland Chiropractic Office Alleviate Whiplash

By Julio Riess


Whiplash is a very uncomfortable condition that is often the result of low-impact and low-speed car crashes or even aggressive assaults or sports tackles.

If you have been in a low impact crash, you should consider immediately contacting a SE Portland chiropractor. Chiropractic care is the only care for whiplash and should be started as soon as possible for best results. This often means starting care before symptoms become obvious - which can take a few days after the incident. If possible, find a chiropractor that offers same day appointments for emergency care.

Most chiropractors focus primarily on chronic conditions and maintenance care, but a good chiropractor has the skills to deal with acute injuries. On top of that, as chiropractors are often the first line for addressing whiplash and back pain after accidents, they often have the knowledge of how to file the right paperwork and deal with insurance companies or lawyers.

Conventional medicine is rarely able to do much for musculoskeletal injuries after car accidents. Whiplash can actually be a special issue for these professionals given that they will only offer painkillers while recommended rest. More of then not, too much rest is recommended which can actually slow the healing process.

Muscle sprains and muscle tears can be alleviated by a chiropractor without the downtime or drugs that conventional care often entails. These effective services can additionally stave off lasting health issues, which frequently occur when a person's whiplash is extreme.

After an accident, the only thing on your mind is recovery (and getting your car fixed). The right chiropractor can help you focus on getting better rather than who is going to pay for it, and provide therapies that can help restore you to health faster. They will also be honest about when they cannot help you and you may need a referral. Accident victims should make an appointment right away so that they can be looked at before things get worse.
