Ogden Chiropractic Treatment for Whiplash

When our patients come in complaining of pain in the neck associated with trauma, we will evaluate the spine as a whole. There could be other regions of the spine affected by the trauma and when adjusted can alleviate the pressure that is causing pain in the neck. The most often form of chiropractic treatment for whiplash is the manipulation of the joint dysfunction. Our chiropractic doctors will use gentle movements of the joint in a direction that has restrictions.
