Whiplash: Recovering from Painful Neck Injuries

Home | Auto Accident Injury | Page 2

Whiplash Treatment

When it comes to auto accidents, one of the most common injuries one will experience is whiplash. Finding the right treatment for whiplash can be challenging as each case is different. Certain spinal manipulations and stretching can lead to improvement, but many people find the stiffness and pain can last for weeks. During whiplash, there is a sudden flexion and extension of the neck.

According to research, about two-thirds of people involved in an auto accident will develop signs and symptoms related to whiplash. In most cases, these developments can take 48 hours for the symptoms to fully develop. In addition to car accidents, whiplash is also experienced from sports injuries, falls, slips, work accidents, and more.Whiplash Kaysville Auto Accident Chiropractic

The most common issue with whiplash relates to pain and stiffness of the neck. Not only do patients feel pain in the neck, it is common for there to be shoulder pain, upper back pain, upper chest pain, and even arm pain. Headaches are another common symptom, while others can experience nausea, problems swallowing, blurred vision, and dizziness.

Neck adjustment is one of the common treatment methods used for neck pain related to whiplash. A neck adjustment will target pain by improving the mobility of the spine, thereby increasing range of motion. The goal of the adjustment is focused on the treatment of stiffness and soreness, which will help in decreasing pain.

Speeding up the healing process will depend on the results we are seeing with patients. Some patients respond well to massage therapy and rehabilitative exercises. Other patients may need to consider additional treatments based on the severity of the injury.

Of course the best outcomes will involve the patients participation in the healing process. At-home stretching and movements are part of the overall treatment plan. Patient involvement in the program will have the best outcomes coupled with our doctor’s treatment program. If you are suffering from a whiplash injury, contact Grant Chiropractic today for an evaluation.

Spend Less Time in Pain and More Time in the Game!

Grant Chiropractic is pleased to bring the latest in NHN LASER technology treatment to our Kaysville office, the Multi Radiance Medical Laser. This modern treatment is designed to help patients find relief from pain in the neck and shoulders. We have found the new laser to be a safe and effective way to treat chronic pain and injuries in our patients.

What is the Multi Radiance Medical Laser?

The US Food and Drug Administration cleared the Multi Radiance Medical MR5 laser technology for disc herniation’s of the spine, neck pain, lower back pain, knee pain, ankle pain, shoulder pain, wrist pain, and more. Only a few therapeutic laser companies have received clearance for the NHN product classification standards. The laser uses a sophisticated software system to synergize multiple wavelengths to correctly penetrate different tissue layers. Unlike other systems, Multi Radiance Lasers are designed to target deep tissue, not just the superficial layers. Many patients with chronic pain have found the Multi Radiance Medical Laser to be one of the best methods to train pain and improve their day-to-day living.

The Benefits of the Multi Radiance Medical Laser

Using laser treatment is a non-invasive way to treat pain. Similar to stem cell injections, without the risk, the Multi Radiance Medical laser will stimulate the cells, causing them to increase ATP Production from the mitochondria. Mitochondria are a cell organelles that focuses on regenerating damaged tissues and promotes healing. The Multi Radiance Medical Laser is FDA approved, and has received positive reviews from patients seeking a non-invasive treatment.

Laser Treatment versus Stem Cell Therapy

In the recent years, there has been a lot of discussion pertaining to stem cell research. Stem cell treatment involves using undifferentiated stem cells from umbilical cords, and injecting these cells into the joints or other damaged tissues to accelerate healing. However, despite some positive results, there are serious risks associated with stem cell therapy.

According to the FDA, unproven stem cell treatments can be unsafe. At a 2016 public workshop, several cases of stem cell treatments were discussed and many showed adverse effects to patients such as causing blindness, spinal tumors, and more. Safety risks are common with stem cells, even if they are the stem cells of the patient. Manipulation of the cells can occur after removal, which increases the risk of contamination, leading to adverse side effects.

Natural, Safe, Drug-Free Treatment for Chronic Pain

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), recently stated that over 50 million people suffer with chronic pain. With such a high prevalence for chronic pain, it is no wonder why so many pain remedies have been created to try and help people find relief. Multi Radiance Medical Lasers provide a comfortable, convenient, and effective tool to provide long-term pain relief, reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, increase mobility, and repair damaged tissues by stimulating cells.

How It Works and What to Expect

When you come to our Kaysville chiropractic office, we will discuss the treatment in detail. Our goal is to help you understand everything that will occur, and how it will be able to improve your health. Patients will lie on a comfortable treatment table or chair, and we lightly move the laser across the treatment area. The gentle beam of laser light immediately stimulates the cells to start repairing tissues. Most therapy treatments will last 3-15 minutes depending upon the condition that is being treated.

Within a few minutes, most patients notice improvement in motion and feel a reduction in pain. Depending upon pain, inflammation, and current muscle status, patients normally need 2-5 treatments to see continued improvement. We will set up a patient treatment plan with you to confirm that all treatments are given within the specified timeframe, and to ensure the body is healing effectively.

Who Can Receive Laser Treatment?

The Multi Radiance Laser treatments are designed to help stimulate the body’s natural healing ability. Using the treatment prevents the need for drug therapies, and laser therapy does not include side effects commonly seen with other treatments. Multi Radiance Laser technology has been tested and received numerous accolades and validation for its healing abilities. In controlled laboratory testing, the results showed it was safe for all skin pigmentation and results also showed it did not raise skin temperatures to dangerous levels like other lasers have done.

Multi Radiance Medical Laser treatments have been used by high profile entities including Olympic, National, collegiate and professional sports teams. This technology is safe and has been used on a variety of patients varying in demographics. Contact Grant Chiropractic in Kaysville, UT today to schedule a consultation for Multi Radiance Laser treatment and find yourself back in the game instead of on the sidelines!

8 Steps After an Auto Accident

Did you know there are approximately six million auto accidents that occur in the United States on a yearly basis? According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are approximately 17,250 auto accidents daily. With the risk of getting into an auto accident increasing, it is important to know what steps you need to if you do end up getting into an auto accident.

Auto Accident Injury Kaysville

Step # 1: Stop

One of the most important things you can do after an auto accident is to stop or pull over. You do not want to leave the scene of an accident. Even minor car accidents need to have proper protocol followed or you run the risk of being sued by the other driver, even if the accident wasn’t your fault.

Step # 2: Safety

After an auto accident, you need to protect the scene of the accident and concern yourself with safety. Turn on your hazard lights to make other drivers aware. If it is nighttime, use flares to help alert other drivers. Stay inside your vehicle if it is safe to do so. If not, stand on the side of the roadway near a sidewalk to keep yourself from getting hit by unsuspecting drivers.

Step # 3: Contact Law Enforcement

You need to contact the police as soon as possible. Police will investigate the accident, take statements, and play a critical role in keeping everyone safe. The police can provide you with a copy of their report, which you will need to file with your insurance provider.

Step # 4: Document the Scene

It is important to take pictures, make notes, and document as much as you can from the scene of the accident. In the event you are taken to court or the insurance company is disputing information, you have evidence on your side. Your auto accident attorney can use the information you collect to help your case if you do need to go to court. They can negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf as well.

Step # 5: Exchange Information

All parties involved in the auto accident will need to exchange information. It is important that you work with police to gather this information if the other party is being difficult to talk to. You will need the insurance information of the other driver’s and parties involved as your attorney may need to work with them regarding your claim.

Step # 6: Contact Your Insurance Provider

You will need to contact your insurance provider to make them aware of the accident. They will discuss your benefits with you, your deductible, and what to do from here. If your car is totaled, they can find rental cars for you, and can work with the other insurance company if the accident was the fault of the other driver.

Step # 7: Acquire Medical Attention

If you have been injured, you need to get treated by a medical professional. Police normally call an ambulance to the scene if they are concerned of injuries. Sometimes people do not have any symptoms, but a day or two later, they end up with severe neck pain and other problems. Auto accident injuries can last for years, or can show up months later due to cognitive and behavioral issues. It is important to be examined by a doctor even if you do not think you are injured as certain things like concussions can be hard for some people to understand the long-term impact of the injury.

A lot of doctor offices treat whiplash but Dr. Todd Grant at Grant Chiropractic, has specialty Certification in whiplash injuries.  If you have been injured, we can aid with treatments and at-home therapy you can do to strengthen your muscles, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the healing process.

Step # 8: Contact Your Attorney

The most important phone call you will make after everything occurs is contacting your attorney. Contacting an experienced auto injury attorney will allow you to protect your rights. Your attorney will fight for your rights and make sure you are fully compensated for your vehicle, injuries, and long-term suffering.

Don’t become a statistic! Auto accidents are a serious matter and you deserve protection against legal action, or to fight for your rights against insurance companies. Hire a good auto accident attorney today to discuss your rights.
