Whiplash injuries can take months to heal, and they can be very painful. Traditional medical techniques often cause more problems than the original injury. They may even contribute to prolonging healing. There is another avenue to seek for relief, though, which is non-invasive and natural.



Treating these injuries can be difficult. Pain involvement is often inconsistent, ranging from very intense on some days to almost none on others. Traditional medical interventions strive to treat the pain, so are not as effective when pain levels cannot be anticipated. For an alternative, a chiropractor Northwest Las Vegas office can provide that relief with preventative procedures.



The pain from this type of injury can vary from being centered in the neck to pain radiating down the shoulder, arm, and even the underarm. Sometimes there is swelling, but not every time. This leaves some believing the claim is bogus. Lack of swelling doesn't mean the claim is not legitimate.



Pain in this area is due to muscle spasms and damage, and to the loss of full function, putting strain on the surrounding muscles. Though spinal alignment can be at fault as well, that is sometimes not the case. Chiropractic care often involves adjustment to the spine and other palliative measures such as heat and deep muscle massage. Patient comfort is the ultimate goal.



The injuries involved in whiplash are not always a serious issue. The main difficulty is the pain and the attempt to relieve it as much as possible. Early intervention is important to relieving this pain and avoiding further injury. Recovery may be prolonged if care is not sought early on and pain may be greatly increased due to further damage occurring.



An accident is not something one wants to anticipate. Avoidance is not always possible, however. When there is an accident with injury, early intervention that is individualized to the patient's condition is important.
