At Kalani Total Health Center, we see patients every day who are dealing with neck pain and the discomfort and stiffness of a whiplash injury. Some people think “oh I’ll just wait, it’ll go away eventually. They used whiskey in the old days to numb the pain so how bad could it be?” Clearly the advice of an ill-informed shoulder devil. We need to be listening to our shoulder angels. Waiting out pain is not a good idea, especially in cases of whiplash since chronic issues can develop including spinal cord injuries that lead to paralysis.
Here are some secrets for getting rid of whiplash and getting back to real life:
1. Focus on an anti-inflammatory diet
2. Get moving!
3. Make sure you’re sleeping correctly
4. Don’t delay treatment or rely too much on OTC painkillers
5. Focus on positive thoughts
6. Practice good posture
7. Consider acupuncture
8. Don’t ignore the psychological aspects of an accident
9. Seek chiropractic care immediately
We saved the best for last. There is no one more qualified to help with whiplash than a chiropractor. Chiropractic care is a non-surgical, non-invasive, all-natural option. The pain that accompanies whiplash is from subluxations in the cervical spine, this means that the bones in the neck are not properly aligned and are putting pressure on the surrounding nerves and tissue, compromising function.
