Whiplash FAQs from our Omaha Chiropractor

If you recently obtained an auto accident injury, finding appropriate treatment to reduce pain and get your body back into optimal health is a necessity. Calling West Omaha Chiropractic & Sports Injury Clinic in Omaha to assist with whiplash remedies will help if you are suffering from this condition. Here are some frequently asked questions about whiplash to read over to help you minimize discomfort if you are currently in pain from this type of injury.

What Exactly Is A Whiplash Injury?

Whiplash occurs when the neck is stretched in a manner where it moves beyond its normal range of motion. This injury often occurs as a result of a vehicular accident or a sports injury. When the neck moves in an unnatural way, often very quickly, the muscles and ligaments become injured.

Are There Ways To Prevent Whiplash From Happening?

Unfortunately, whiplash can occur any time the neck is moved outside of its normal motion range. When you are in a vehicle, make sure your headrest is properly positioned to cradle the back of your head. This may not stop whiplash completely but may be beneficial in stopping your neck from snapping back quickly, depending on the impact sustained.

What Can A Chiropractor Do To Help My Situation?
