43% of patients will suffer long term symptoms following a whiplash type injury. They often result in stretching, or in extreme cases tearing, of the muscles and ligaments supporting the spine. The vertebrae can translate out of their normal position which reduces the range of movement in the neck and puts pressure on surrounding structures. 

Chiropractic care can improve the range of movement by restoring the vertebra to its correct position and help reduce the pain that is associated with whiplash.

At Ely Chiropractic Clinic, we approach your whiplash injury with care and gentle techniques as we are aware of the pain you are probably already experiencing. Once pain levels have decreased, gentle rehabilitation exercises to help strengthen the muscles in your neck can aid with the recovery process and reduce the chance of long term issues.

Is it best to get a whiplash injury addressed sooner rather than later. The longer you leave the issue, more complications tend to arise, and recovery time is likely to increase.
