Treating Whiplash

Have you ever been in a car accident? If so, you may be all too familiar with the wide array of injuries that can occur when you're on the road. Even the smallest of car accidents can lead to injuries or pain that need treatment. If you're suffering from car accident injuries like whiplash, the team at Pike Chiropractic Therapy Center in Huber Heights, OH, can help you get back to living a pain-free life.

What Is Whiplash?

The most common injury passengers in a car accident experience is whiplash. Whiplash is a neck injury caused by quick and forceful back-and-forth movement of the head.

Symptoms of whiplash include neck pain that becomes worse when you move, as well as neck stiffness, loss of range of motion, headaches, shoulder pain or tenderness, arm and back pain, and a tingling or numbness in your arms.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help with Whiplash

At Pike Chiropractic, we build custom care plans for each patient. Your individualized whiplash treatment plan may include:

Spinal manipulation: We rely on various spinal manipulation techniques — including the flexion-distraction technique, which involves using the hands to pump on the intervertebral disc — to treat your back.

Soft-tissue therapy: Soft-tissue therapy treatment helps us rehabilitate and treat a range of issues including tension in your muscles, sprains, strains, and tears.

Massage therapy: Massage therapy is used in conjunction with other therapies, to help relax any tension you may be experiencing in your muscles and aid in your overall rehabilitation.

Trigger point therapy: We apply pressure to the pained area to help alleviate it.

Your whiplash treatment doesn’t end when you're not in our clinic. We also provide patient education advice on ways you can help your neck at home. This may include recommendations for exercises, changes to your diet, and even how you can change your posture.
