CAN CHIROPRACTORS HELP WITH WHIPLASH?

A doctor of chiropractic is essential in providing care in most car accident injury cases.  If the spine is left to heal on its own without proper care, your neck and back pain may never go away.  You could suffer life time pain.  Over half the victims of serious car accidents never fully recover.  Make sure chiropractic is part of your accident injury care.

IS IT OK TO MASSAGE WHIPLASH?

Usually it’s ok to gently massage pulled muscles after minor accidents.  Always confirm this with a qualified doctor of chiropractic first.  Using ice can be helpful as well.  Be careful not to freeze the skin.  Ice can be applied over a wet towel for no more than 20 minutes.

IS HEAT OR COLD BETTER FOR WHIPLASH?

The rule is ice first.  Use ice, 5-20 minutes at least 3 times a day.

Later, when your Denver chiropractor says it’s ok, use moist heat.  Never use a heating pad.  Get in a hot shower and allow the water to provide a warm massage to the injured areas.
