EFFECTS OF IMPROPER TREATMENT

EFFECTS OF IMPROPER TREATMENT

Improper treatment of whiplash injuries and all soft tissue injuries is a factor in about 50% of the patient's that finally present themselves to our clinic.  Some patients are given a soft cervical collar by there medical doctor. The collar itself can further weaken supportive muscles and actually lengthen recovery time.  If a muscle, ligament, tendon, or joint is subject to prolonged immobilization after injury or surgery this can have significant and profound negative effects.  If a fracture is present the patient is to be first seen by Neuro-surgeon to rule out spinal cord injury and will more than likely have to where a special collar/halo until the fracture is healed.  Once the fractured vertebrae is healed the patient should be sent to a physical therapist to minimize the negative affects of the prolonged immobilization of the soft tissues.  Most MD's and DO's prescribe muscle relaxors, pain medications, and anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) covering up the symptoms, and allowing you to die more comfortably.

Don't Take Unnecessary Chances
In whiplash injuries, ligaments, muscles and joints are stretched and torn out of their original positions.  When this happens, the nerves become compressed and cause pain.  Without proper care, the injury can progressive grow worse, because the neck vertebrate are now unstable and disc decay can form.  Your ligaments and other soft tissues can heal with scar tissue, and your vertebrate may heal in the wrong positions, creating long-term instability and weakness.   This is a permanent condition known as fibrosis, the pain is real and can last a lifetime.  Don't take unnecessary chances.

The Good News!
The good news is that qualified chiropractic care has proven to be very effective in helping most whiplash victims identify and treat their whiplash injuries - without drugs or surgery. 
A study by Woodward, Cook, Gargan and Bannister found 93% of patients under chiropractic care for whiplash injuries had improved.  They further stated"....."No conventional medical treatment has proven to be as effective as chiropractic."
