Whiplash is helped with chiropractic care

According to research: “An article published in the Journal of Orthopedic Medicine in 1999 pointed out the superiority of chiropractic care for patients suffering from long term whiplash.  The authors of the article noted that a previous study had shown that 26 of 28 patients, or 93 percent, of patients with chronic whiplash benefited from chiropractic care.  In the authors own study, they interviewed 100 consecutive chiropractic referrals of patients with chronic whiplash.  Their results also showed that of the 93 patients who remained in the study, 69 of them, or 74 percent, found improvement.  The researchers concluded their opening comments with the statement, “The results from this study provide further evidence that chiropractic is an effective treatment for chronic whiplash symptoms.””   Whiplash can be a very painful experience with lasting effects.  It is extremely important to get checked by your doctor of chiropractic if you are involved in any accident.  As a chiropractor in Silver Spring, MD, I frequently address injuries of all kinds, including accidents.  Please contact us if you or someone you know has been injured.
