Whiplash

Powers-conditions

Whiplash (also called a neck sprain or strain) is caused by an abrupt jerking motion of the head which often occurs, but is not limited to, the result of a car accident. Symptoms of whiplash include:

  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Worsening of pain with neck movement
  • Loss of range of motion in the neck
  • Headaches, most often starting at the base of the skull
  • Tenderness or pain in shoulder, upper back or arms
  • Tingling or numbness in the arms
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness

Some people also experience:

  • Blurred vision
  • Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Irritability
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Memory problems
  • Depression

Symptoms may take up to 24 hours after the initial trauma to appear, so do not delay in heading to the doctor to be treated. Medicine alone is not a reliable treatment for whiplash, as it only masks symptoms instead of treating the root cause of whiplash pain.


 Solution

Chiropractic care provides a healthy solution to this problem by:

  • Providing a doctor that specializes in finding the location of and correcting vertebral subluxations which may cause whiplash
  • Treating lower whiplash at its source, rather than masking the symptoms
  • Correcting nerve interference in the spine in order to provide long-term relief from pain

    I first visited Dr. Powers over one year ago with severe sciatic nerve pain. After 3 months of treatment the pain was entirely gone. I am now more flexible and able to do my work more effectively and with less pain. -Julie Wolfe

    Dr. Powers is absolutely the best chiropractor in the city. I used two other chiropractors before him and they could not fix my neck pain, after one visit with him, the pain was gone. My entire family sees him! -Henk deBoer

    I use to regularly have back pain by the end of the work day. Now with my monthly visit I am virtually back pain free. I can't believe I waited so long to seek chiropractic care. Thanks Dr. Powers! -David Kiepe
