Whiplash

 If you have been in a car accident, there is a good chance that you have suffered from whiplash. Whiplash is a type of neck injury that can be quite painful and take a long time to heal. We would like to discuss how you can recover from whiplash and how our chiropractors at Milton Chiropractic & Massage in Milton can help ease your pain.

.

Get Plenty of Rest

After an auto accident, it is important to get plenty of rest. Your body needs time to heal and recover from the injury. Taking a few days off from work or school is perfectly fine and will help you heal faster. Resting doesn't mean that you have to do nothing all day. You can still go for walks, read, or watch TV. Just don't overdo it and give your body the time it needs to heal.

Apply Hot and Cold Packs

An ice pack can help reduce inflammation and swelling in the first few days after your injury. After that, heat might feel a bit better. You can alternate between ice and heat packs as needed. Just don't put ice directly on your skin for more than 20 minutes at a time.

Wrapping an ice pack in a thin towel can help prevent skin damage. You can also buy special ice packs that don't need to be wrapped. If you use a heating pad, set it on low or medium heat. Don't fall asleep with it on your neck. You can also take a hot bath or shower to help ease the pain.

See a Professional Chiropractor

If you are in pain, it is important to see a chiropractor. A chiropractor can help you with pain management and provide other treatments to speed up your recovery. Many different chiropractic techniques can be used to treat whiplash. Some of them may include chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and exercises. One of our chiropractors will design a treatment plan that is specifically for you and meets your needs.
