Kent WA, 21-JANUARY-2015 - Palmer Chiropractic Clinic and Dr. Brian Bussard, DC are pleased to announce that local victims of whiplash injuries can obtain relief using chiropractic techniques. The Kent chiropractic professionals offer measures that are safe and non-pharmaceutical. Chiropractors are knowledgeable about the natural methods of healing and recovery, using the power of the body to heal itself.

Whiplash injuries are typically received in an automobile accident, but can also occur during a slip-and-fall accident. They are due to the sudden violent movement of the head, either forward and backward, or from side to side. The muscles and connective tissues are over-extended and may even tear. The result is pain, irritation, swelling and tissue damage. The vertebrae may even become misaligned.

The pain of a whiplash may not appear immediately following the accident. Pain and other symptoms sometimes do not appear for hours or even days. Other symptoms of a whiplash can include weakness, tingling or a burning sensation. The symptoms can be felt in the hands and arms.

Chiropractic evaluation soon after the incident will help to speed recovery. The chiropractor has the tools and knowledge to identify potential whiplash injuries, even before the pain and related symptoms become obvious. Acting quickly to apply therapeutic techniques will result in less pain over all and a faster healing period.

Therapy within the first 24 to 48 hours usually consists of ensuring that there are no subluxations in the cervical spine. Soft tissue damage can be addressed with massage or ultrasound techniques. Heat and cold therapy is another commonly used technique which is effective in relieving pain and promoting healing.
