Savannah Whiplash Chiropractor

Successful Whiplash Treatment by a Local Savannah Chiropractor

There are over 342,534 car accidents each year in the state of Georgia. Some are minor and others more severe, but many of these accidents lead to Whiplash and Neck Injuries.

Many Whiplash injuries from vehicle accidents occur at speeds as low as five to 10 mph. The severity of the injury often depends on whether you are properly restrained.

Neck pain ordinarily occurs when your car is rear-ended during an Auto Accident because of the violent changes within the structures of the neck.

If you're looking for a Savannah Whiplash Chiropractor, Arrowhead Clinic in Savannah can assist you.

The sudden backward jerk (extension) and forward movement (flexion) causes the joints of the neck to be injured and can also cause the ligaments and muscles of the neck and upper back to be overstretched and go into spasm.

The neck is extremely vulnerable to this type of trauma because of its ability to move in multiple directions. If you have been in a rear-end car collision, you may need a professional to examine the severity of the damage.

Common Whiplash Symptoms

Symptoms of Whiplash can vary widely based on the person involved in the crash, but the most common effects we see at our Savannah Chiropractic Clinic are:

    • Tightness and Spasm in the Neck and Upper Back

    • Localized Pain in the Neck itself

    • Upper Back Pain

    • Burning and Tingling Sensations in the Neck and going down the arms into the fingers

    • Dizziness, Headaches, and Migraines

    • Shoulder Pain

    • TMJ and Jaw Pain

How our Savannah Chiropractors Evaluate Whiplash Damage on Your Body

Our Savannah Chiropractor will assess whether your Whiplash Injury warrants hospitalization, and will accurately test which tissues and spinal structures have been injured.

The exam will evaluate the spinal joints' mobility and pain response and typically includes:

    • Motion Palpation and Compression testing

    • X-rays and their review

    • Reflex Testing

    • Cranial Nerve Examination

    • Motor skill tests

Recovering from Whiplash Injuries

With the proper medical care, many mild whiplash injuries typically heal within six to nine months. Unfortunately, more than 20% of those who suffer from whiplash injuries continue to suffer in pain, discomfort, weakness or restricted movement two years after their accident.

In most cases, the majority of these people will suffer from some level of disability or pain for years into the future, if not for the rest of their lives

Treating whiplash takes the skills of an experienced, specially-trained health care professional who is equipped to address these types of accident injuries.

Studies show the most effective treatment for whiplash injuries is a combination of chiropractic care, rehabilitation of the soft tissues and following close instruction of an injury doctors orders.

Long-term conditions that may occur if your whiplash injuries are left untreated:

    • Loss of the Normal Cervical (neck) Curve

    • Degenerative Joint Disease

    • Migraines

    • Fatigue

    • Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

    • Mid-Back Pain

    • Tinnitus

    • Shoulder Pain

    • Temporal Mandibular Degeneration

    • Visual Disturbances

How We Treat Whiplash Injuries at Our Savannah Chiropractic Office

    • Teaching Proper Posture: the most powerful concept is an appropriate alignment of your spine. By keeping your head, neck, upper body and lower back aligned during movement and at rest, relieves stress on the neck.

    • Chiropractic Adjustments: this is necessary to realign bones of the spine and restore structural integrity to the ligaments, muscle, and joints.

  • Muscle Relaxation and Electrical Stimulation: which entails gentle finger pressure on specific sensory trigger points and electrical based stimulation to help with pain and improve muscle function.

    • Therapeutic Neck Stretches and Exercises: to improve muscle strength and range of motion our doctor will show you exercises and stretches to practice at home to improve your chances of a quick recovery.

Whiplash Settlement

Valuing Your Car Accident Settlement After a Whiplash Injury

The unexpected and sudden force of an automotive collision causes muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the neck to become powerfully contracted.

Severe neck sprains and strains can result in a "soft tissue injury," that is sometimes called "hyperflexion" or "hyperextension" also known as "whiplash."

These types of injuries are very common in car accidents both severe and minor, but they are also problematic from an injury claim perspective.

That's because these soft tissue type injuries typically do not show up on:

    • X-rays

    • MRI's,

    • Other diagnostic tests

If you fail to get your injuries properly treated by an experienced chiropractor you may lose the maximum compensation possible in the outcome of your settlement.

At Arrowhead Chiropractic Clinics, we provide the proper documentation necessary to prove your injuries and the medical treatment necessary for a full and optimal recovery.

An insurance adjuster isn't going to just take you at your word when you say that you are injured, and then cut you a large settlement. All of your losses and injuries need to be documented as much as possible.

Providing medical records and bills that prove the extent of your injuries will also assist your personal injury attorney with established proof and credibility in your accident injury case.

Two of the most important considerations that are made when determining the value of your injury settlement are:

  • The medical treatment you received

  • The severity of your injuries

The value of your settlement will be weighed heavily on these two factors. After a car accident obtaining the proper medical care from an Accident Injury, Rehabilitative Clinic is essential to a fast recovery and favorable settlement amount.
