Whiplash Treatment After a Car Accident
Not only are symptoms invisible early on, but in some cases, standard X-rays may not reveal the damage to soft tissue areas. Your chiropractor may recommend CT scans or an MRI, to make sure you didn't suffer damage to muscles, discs, or ligaments.
Depending on the severity, exercise, or other physical therapy is sometimes enough to alleviate the pain.
In other cases, though, sharp pain can be reduced by over-the-counter medications such as Ibuprofen or Naproxen, as well as other therapies, such as traction, massage, heat/ice, and ultrasound.
While some people figure that keeping very still or even wearing a cervical collar is an easy way to avoid a doctor visit, the newest medical evidence quoted by WebMD suggests moving the neck around safely is critical to faster recovery. Dr. Autera, will discuss these options in further detail with you during your free consultation.
