Austin TX, 17-NOVEMBER-2014 - Austin Preferred Spine & Sports Rehab and Dr. Jeff Fluitt DC are pleased to announce that chiropractic medicine offers a number of safe solutions for those who have been involved in an accident with whiplash as a result. The condition is often the result of an automobile accident injury, but may also be caused by a slip-and-fall accident. The Austin chiropractor offers the methods which alleviate the pain and hasten recovery from the injuries.

A whiplash is described as a neck injury which typically is the result of a rear end auto collision. The head suddenly moves backward and then forward, not unlike the motion of someone cracking the whip. The neck muscles and connective tissue is pushed beyond the normal range of motion. The injuries can be severe or mild. Traditional therapy consists of a anti-inflammatory, but this may not prevent long-term problems arising from the injury.

The chiropractor approaches such injuries by determining the precise location of the damaged muscles and to learn whether there are alignment problems due to the injury. Restoring the alignment of the vertebrae is an early step in the therapy. The patient may also be encouraged to use heat and cold therapy on the strained muscles. The body's ability to heal itself is promoted through chiropractic measures.

When there is a whiplash injury, it is important to begin therapeutic measures as soon as possible after the accident. By doing so, there may be a faster recovery time, and the pain level may be significantly less.
