Whiplash Care from Your Auto Accident Injury Chiropractor in Duluth

Few conditions will send people to an auto accident injury chiropractor in Duluth more quickly and urgently than whiplash, and rightly so. This common but dreaded by-product of auto accident injuries can cause, not just neck pain, but a host of other debilitating symptoms. The underlying damage caused by whiplash may not heal normally unless you get it corrected – and that's where Associated Chiropractic Physicians can step in. Our clinic is more than happy to provide you with safe, non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical whiplash treatment in Duluth MN.

With Whiplash, Neck Pain Is Just the Beginning

While whiplash can occur in any situation where the neck is suddenly jolted or forced beyond its normal capacities, the condition is most commonly associated with auto accident injuries. Even a low-speed impact can bring your car to sudden stop, with the forces transferred to your body. Momentum then sends your head flying forward and backward so violently – like the lash of a whip – that the neck sustains hyperextension and hyperflexion injuries. Muscle is torn, cervical vertebrae are dislodged, cervical discs herniate and nerve tissue becomes pinched, interfering with normal nerve function.

Most people associate whiplash with neck pain and stiffness (as witnessed by the stereotypical image of the whiplash victim wearing the cervical collar), but these are only two of the symptoms you may experience. Whiplash can also cause headaches, migraines, nausea, memory problems, mood changes, tinnitus and blurred vision. You may also have strange pains, tingling sensations, numbness or weakness in your hands/arms due to misaligned spinal structures pushing against cervical nerve roots.

Natural Whiplash Treatment in Duluth

Don't assume that your case of whiplash will simply go away on its own. While the body does know how to heal itself, some physical problems simply cannot be resolved without the aid of a skilled Duluth chiropractor. If you're seeking effective, conservative whiplash treatment in Duluth, look no further than Associated Chiropractic Physicians. Our Duluth chiropractor, Dr. Robert Torgrimson, urges you to get a musculoskeletal evaluation as soon as possible whenever you're in an auto accident, even if you aren't experiencing neck pain or other symptoms, because injuries can lurk painlessly for some time. Once we have pinpointed the damaged areas, our auto injury chiropractor can create a personalized pain relief and rehabilitation plan to help you get back to normal. Your holistic treatment program may include:

• Chiropractic adjustment to restore alignment to the cervical spine
• Spinal decompression therapy to treat herniated discs in the neck
• Corrective exercises to help you regain neck strength and pain-free flexibility
