Neck Injury Pain Alleviated With Memphis Chiropractic Therapy

By Clinton Arnhold


On the job injuries, sporting accidents and car wrecks can all cause pain in one's neck due to whiplash. Although some feel this pain immediately, it is delayed for weeks or months in others. When suffering these injuries, a Memphis chiropractor provides help.

Neck pain is the most common symptom of whiplash. Generally, pain is felt within 2 to 48 hours. The injury causes muscles to tighten due to tears or excess movement of one's joints resulting in ligament damage. The neck muscles tighten to splint and support the head and limit excess movement. However, this action makes it painful to move the head or neck.

Often the pain moves beyond one's neck resulting in headaches. Headache pain from whiplash affects one or both sides. It is normally felt behind the eyes of a the sufferer. The headaches sometimes come and go and at other times are constant. They too, are the result of tensed muscles.

Some who suffer whiplash also experience pain in their shoulder or shoulders. Such pain radiated down an individual's neck to the shoulder blades. If the disc is damaged, the pain may be sharp when one makes certain movements. Sometimes relief is found by holding one's hand over the head.

These injuries are more likely to cause long term problems if they do not receive therapy. Chiropractic offers a safe and effective means of speeding healing of one's body. It reduces the formation of scar tissue and eliminates many of the long term effects associated with this injury. The therapy is also helpful at reducing pain the injuries cause.

When neck pain is a problem, whiplash may be the underlying cause. A Memphis chiropractor offers effective care that is noninvasive. This therapy helps the natural healing powers of the body to take over and reduce long term chronic pain. It is important to have the spine examined after any sudden impact.
