2. What is Whiplash?
Whiplash is an injury to the neck and/or supporting structures that occurs when the head and neck are violently thrust backward, forward, or side to side. Cervical acceleration deceleration (CAD) is the appropriate terminology used to describe the mechanism of injury. Whiplash can occur either with low speed or high speed impact collisions. Too often people don’t seek chiropractic care until more serious complications develop. So Don’t Wait Any Longer, Call the auto accident chiropractor at ProChiropractic today!

3. How long does it take to heal from whiplash?
That depends on the degree and type of injury one has sustained. It also depends on your state of health, since people with chronic health difficulties on average heal slower.

That being said, the healing of whiplash injuries occurs through three phases. These phases can require up to one year to complete, and sometimes longer. Since whiplash injury is primarily damage to the soft tissues: muscles, ligaments, tendons and discs; healing occurs through the formation of scar tissue and not by regeneration of the original damaged tissue.

1st Phase: Inflammatory Phase
In this phase there is progressive bleeding from the stretching and tearing of the injured soft tissues supporting the spine. As a result, there is often a subsequent increase in pain and swelling for approximately the first 72 hours.

2nd Phase: Repair and Regeneration Phase
In this phase the body attempts to mend the areas of injury by literally filling in the areas of damage with scar tissue. This phase takes approximately six to eight weeks for completion.

3rd Phase: Remodeling Phase
The remodeling phase is characterized by the body’s attempt to reorganize the disorganized scar tissue that has formed. In other words, it is a period in which the body tries to make the scar tissue come as close in quality to the original tissue as possible. This important phase takes up to 12 months or longer to complete.

4. What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a health science that understands the relationship between structure, primarily the spine, and function, primarily the nervous system, of the human body and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health. Chiropractic is a drugless health care method with the goal of relieving pain and putting your body in proper alignment to bring the body to its ultimate health.
