Whiplash can be caused by a blow to the head, a car accident, or a fall where the sudden jerking motion in the neck has caused muscle strain and spinal misalignment. Whiplash primarily affects your neck but can also affect the lower back depending on the movement and restraints involved.
Osteopathic treatments directed towards the affected areas aim to relieve the muscle tension and improve the blood supply to the area, spinal manipulation aims to also reduce the stress on the weakened area and release the restrictions caused by the incident.
If you are suffering from whiplash and are looking for a gentle treatment to heal your neck, make a booking to see an osteopath about your pain.
