At DSM Core Chiropractic + Pain Therapy, we often diagnose and treat patients with whiplash resulting from motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, or other types of trauma. Whiplash primarily affects the neck, as the rapid and forceful movement of the head can strain or tear the muscles and ligaments that support and move the cervical spine. This injury causes pain, inflammation, and stiffness in the neck, making it difficult for patients to move or turn their heads. Additionally, patients may experience tenderness, muscle spasms, and swelling in the affected area. Our experienced team is trained to evaluate and effectively treat whiplash injuries for a full recovery.
At DSM Core Chiropractic + Pain Therapy, we prioritize thorough evaluation and effective treatment of whiplash injuries. Our team is committed to gathering all necessary information to fully assess the extent of the injury. While some patients may begin chiropractic care at their first appointment, others may require x-rays or MRIs prior to starting treatment.
Our chiropractic clinic offers a range of treatment options for soft tissue pain resulting from whiplash injuries. One of our specialties is myofascial release, a hands-on deep tissue therapy that reduces pain, tenderness, and swelling. This safe and effective technique helps restore pain-free range of motion following a whiplash injury. We understand the importance of prompt treatment and offer same-day and next-day appointments for unexpected injuries. During your visit, you will receive attentive care from the doctor.
If your whiplash injury was caused by a motor vehicle accident, we can help you navigate the insurance claims process. We work with major insurers and can alleviate some of the burden from you.
