Relief From Whiplash Pain

A Whiplash Injury is far too common following a trauma such as an auto collision. The term whiplash was first coined in 1928. At that time most whiplash neck injuries were caused by train accidents where sudden acceleration and deceleration resulted in the head whipping backward and forward. Your body may be put into a weakened state and soft tissue damage can occur. At Nokomis Chiropractic and Wellness& and Wellness in Minneapolis, MN treatment for whiplash often includes massage and other therapies in addition to the spinal adjustment.

What Causes A Whiplash Injury?

Whiplash Injuries may occur during a high impact event such as a Car Accident, Contact Sports injury, a serious fall or another form of Collision. The injury involves both the soft tissues and vertebrae. Soft Tissue damage may include muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerve roots. Damage usually happens when the body is hit from behind and the head travels rapidly backward and bones in the lower neck become hyperextended putting the body in a weakened state.
