Chiropractic and Whiplash

Whiplash is an injury commonly obtained in rear-end car accidents, sports accidents, or other types of trauma.

 

Whiplash typically occurs due to the forceful extension and flexion of the neck that happens on impact. This can lead to chronic neck pain and other associated symptoms such as headaches and muscle spasms.

 

Can chiropractic help? A 2005 study showed that spinal manipulations in patients with chronic neck pain lead to significant benefits in both short and long term outcomes.

 

If you struggle with chronic neck pain from a whiplash injury or otherwise, and would like to consult with one of our chiropractors, give us a call at (03) 9486 8382 to book your appointment now!
