Treat Your Back, Neck and Shoulder Pain Fast With These Simple Steps
Whiplash Injury: Neck Pain, Headaches and More...When the soft tissues in the neck are torn in the faster-than-you-can-remember motion of whiplash, they become inflamed. Once inflamed they stimulate pain nerve endings and you start to hurt. The most common symptoms of whiplash injury are neck pain and stiffness, headaches, upper back pain, and upper extremity complaints like radiating pain, numbness and tingling.
A non-whiplash injury, a neck strain from sitting in front of the computer too long, sleeping on your neck wrong, or running into a door are quite different from whiplash injuries. A non-whiplash, simple sprain strain resolves itself quickly unless there are complicating issues. Complicating issues might be pre-existing osteoarthritis of the neck. With underlying arthritis a simple sprain strain might take a while to heal. But generally speaking simple sprains and strains get better in weeks to a couple months.
Whiplash injuries to the neck and back are different. These injuries are more serious, with more damage to more soft tissues. It is not uncommon for pain from these injuries to linger for years. Researchers have found that the soft tissues continue to remodel themselves (undergo self-repair) for 2-5 years after an injury.
What's the best treatment for whiplash injury?A whiplash doesn't require a trip to the Emergency Room, but it does require treatment. That is, if you want the best outcome-no chronic pain after the injury. And what is the best treatment for whiplash injury? A study published in the medical journal, the Journal of Orthopedic Medicine researched the issue. 93 patients who suffered whiplash injury and were treated by chiropractors were evaluated. 69 of them reported and showed improvement following chiropractic care.
