Service Details
Did you know you can sustain whiplash even if you are traveling at a low speed of just four miles per hour? The technical term for whiplash is deceleration where all the ligaments around the neck or lower back are stretched out like a rubber band, and they don’t recoil. They’ve lost that elasticity, and it takes time for those to heal, but you have to have some structural help to keep those vertebrae in line. That’s why it’s important to seek chiropractic care as soon as possible after an auto accident.
As a chiropractor, Dr. Kelch ensures those ligaments reach their predetermined length and provide structural integrity back to that affected area. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, we offer rehab to ensure that we can get muscle support around those areas.
The strain from an accident can cause inflammation and damage to nerves, muscles, tissues, and joints, which may present as injuries, such as:
Whiplash, which causes neck pain and stiffness, shoulder pain, jaw pain, ringing in the ears, and headaches
Dizziness
Tingling or numbness in the arm
Sciatica and other types of nerve impingements
Shoulder dislocation
Disc herniation or disc bulge
Acute facet joint lock or vertebral subluxation
Ligament sprains
Concussion

‘"But I Don’t Have Pain"
With whiplash, you may not have an issue right away, but many times we’ll see on X-rays 10-20 years down the line that there’s neck degeneration that will cause issues later on in life. Our objective is to prevent arthritic, degenerative disc disease type issues in the future due to traumas earlier in life. Once that disease occurs, you can’t go backward. You can treat the symptoms, but you can’t reverse those actual degenerations of the spine.
