Conditions Treated
Whiplash & Auto Injuries
What Causes Whiplash?
Whiplash is a common injury we treat at Sandstone Chiropractic, often resulting from motor vehicle accidents. It occurs when the spine or neck is forcefully thrown in one direction and then rapidly pulled in the opposite direction. This unnatural movement can significantly damage the neck’s support structures, including muscles, ligaments, discs, and bones.
Symptoms of whiplash often include neck soreness, stiffness, headaches, fatigue, jaw pain, and arm pain. In more severe cases, it can lead to depression, sleep disorders, and other long-term issues. Addressing these symptoms early is crucial for effective recovery.
At Sandstone Chiropractic, we know car accidents can be stressful and overwhelming.
Our goal is to ease that burden by providing personalized, effective care. We begin with a thorough evaluation of your injuries to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your recovery.
Spinal Curve Restoration
At Sandstone Chiropractic, our team focuses on restoring mobility and proper range of motion to each joint in the affected area. This is achieved through a series of chiropractic adjustments, stretches, and exercises designed to mobilize soft tissues. Once the joints and ligaments are properly aligned and mobilized, we incorporate strengthening exercises to help maintain alignment and support long-term spinal health.
Cervical Manipulation
This hands-on adjustment targets the joints of the neck to improve spinal mobility, restore range of motion, and enhance muscle movement in the surrounding areas. Patients often experience greater ease in turning and tilting their heads, along with significant reductions in pain, soreness, and stiffness after treatment.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy uses light waves to stimulate damaged cells, accelerating the healing process. This advanced technique reduces pain, swelling, and inflammation by dispersing inflammatory cells away from the affected tissue, promoting faster recovery and improved comfort.
Spot Cryotherapy
Spot Cryotherapy utilizes liquid nitrogen to target pain and stimulate white blood cells, promoting faster healing. This treatment effectively reduces inflammation at the cellular level, alleviating pain, and enhancing the body’s natural recovery process.
If you’re facing any of these conditions, Sandstone Chiropractic offers effective solutions to help you feel your best again—quickly and comfortably.
The Sandstone Way
The Sandstone Approach to Whiplash Treatment
At Sandstone Chiropractic, we reject one-size-fits-all solutions for masking symptoms. Instead, we focus on uncovering the root cause of your whiplash discomfort to develop a personalized care plan that improves your quality of life. Our dedicated team performs comprehensive evaluations to identify the source of your pain and recommend the most effective treatments for your recovery.
Some of our advanced solutions for whiplash treatment include:
- Hands-On Manual Techniques
We use gentle, hands-on adjustments to target specific areas of the spine, joints, or muscles. Time-tested methods like Gonstead, Diversified, and Thompson Drop-Table, combined with modern techniques such as Activator and Myoneural Re-education, help maximize joint function and provide effective pain relief. - Spinal Decompression Therapy
This non-invasive therapy uses a computer-controlled traction device to alleviate pressure within spinal discs, reducing bulges and herniations. By relieving pressure on compressed nerves and joint tissues, this treatment decreases the need for surgeries, injections, or pain medications. - Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy uses advanced light-wave technology to stimulate damaged cells, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing. It minimizes pain and swelling while providing damaged tissues with the energy needed to speed recovery. - Spot Cryotherapy
This targeted treatment applies liquid nitrogen to reduce pain and inflammation at the cellular level. By stimulating white blood cells, Spot Cryotherapy enhances the body’s natural healing process and provides effective relief from localized pain. - Core Strengthening and Physical Rehabilitation
Addressing poor posture and muscle weakness is critical for lasting recovery. We provide exercises and guidance to strengthen the muscles of the neck and upper back, improving alignment and preventing future injuries. - Extremity Adjustment Techniques
For patients experiencing pain in the shoulders, arms, or hands due to whiplash, our extremity adjustments can restore smooth joint movement and relieve discomfort. Techniques like Trigenics help reprogram the brain to activate weak muscles and reduce spasms, accelerating recovery.
Our doctors will craft a customized care plan that combines the most effective treatments tailored to your unique needs and recovery goals. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and experience fast, lasting relief from whiplash and neck pain.
