Gresham OR, Great Health Chiropractic and Dr. Jeffrey Bratten, DC are pleased to announce that chiropractic care is an effective solution for alleviating whiplash pain. The Gresham chiropractor is experienced and knowledgeable about the methods which are natural and well-suited for recovery from whiplash injuries. Often, the symptoms arising from a whiplash do not show up immediately. The therapy should begin as soon as possible following the injury.

Scheduling a consultation with the doctor will permit an assessment of the exact nature of the injury. Whiplash may cause subluxations in the cervical spine, in addition to extreme stretching and even tearing of the muscles and connective tissues. Restoring alignment to the vertebrae is important as a first step in the therapy.

The techniques which are used to help victims of a whiplash injury include a chiropractic adjustment, as well as soft tissue techniques. Heat and cold therapy can be a technique which is used to help restore circulation to the injured tissues. Circulation is restored and the body is able to bring cellular level building blocks to restore function to damaged tissues. Other methods which improve circulation include massage, electro-therapy and ultrasound.

Rather than wait for symptoms to arise, accident victims are encouraged to visit the chiropractor in order that the best course of therapy can begin quickly. Prompt action may even prevent some of the painful symptoms from appearing. Longer term therapy measures include massage, posture correction and exercise. The patient may also be encouraged to participate in range-of-motion exercises.
