Scientists wanted to know how effective chiropractic is in helping whiplash, particularly the worst kind of whiplash i.e.; “chronic whiplash”. Check out these results.

• “Conventional treatment of patients with whiplash symptoms is disappointing.”
• “In chronic cases, no conventional treatment has proved successful.”
• “The results from this study provide further evidence that chiropractic is an effective treatment for chronic whiplash symptoms.”
• “Chiropractic is the only proven effective treatment in chronic [whiplash] cases.”
• “The results of this retrospective study would suggest that benefits can occur in over 90% of patients undergoing chiropractic treatment for chronic whiplash injury.”

SUMMARY

Evidence continues to support that spinal adjustments are both effective and safe for patients suffering from neck pain, including patients with neck pain initiated by a whiplash injury. The evidence supports spinal manipulation for both acute and chronic neck pain. The evidence also shows that spinal adjustments are not only effective, but the benefits are also long-lasting with only a small incidence of recurrence.
