Driving a car is undeniably convenient, but it also has its share of danger. Unfortunately, auto injuries occur regularly and can affect any part of your body. One of the most common auto injuries is whiplash. If you experience symptoms of whiplash or other injuries, you should visit Bensa Chiropractic and Wellness. Dr. Nicole Santana Rodriguez and Dr. José Beneján Lorenzo are your local chiropractors who can provide whiplash relief in Bradenton, FL.
What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash is an injury that occurs from the neck snapping rapidly back and forth. It's a common injury that happens during a rear collision. Unlike other injuries, its symptoms may not immediately show up. You can easily go days or weeks before you feel the effects. Once whiplash symptoms set in, you can experience neck pain and stiffness. Some people may have pain or numbness that radiates down to their arms. It can also affect your range of motion, making it hard to turn your neck. Headaches and nausea may occur.
Chiropractors don't just deal with the lower back portion of your spine. Your cervical spine can also benefit from various chiropractic methods to help the symptoms of this injury heal.
How Can Chiropractors Help?
When you have treatment sessions with Dr. Rodriguez and Dr. Lorenzo in Bradenton, FL, they can use spinal adjustments for whiplash relief. Because whiplash is in the neck, these adjustments may focus on the upper or cervical spine. Even if you don't feel the effects of whiplash immediately, going to these chiropractors as soon as possible after your accident can prevent or greatly reduce symptoms before they occur. From spinal adjustments to chiropractic massage, they can help prevent scar tissue and inflammation from developing that can make the neck stiff and cause related pain. The earlier you get intervention, the fewer symptoms you may have. Your chiropractors can also advise on different exercise techniques to do at home to improve your range of motion.
Auto injuries occur daily, but help is available. While your primary doctor is vital, your chiropractor can provide healing that may help you avoid surgery. Dr. Rodriguez and Dr. Lorenzo are your caring local chiropractic specialists at Bensa Chiropractic and Wellness. They have years of experience providing whiplash relief in Bradenton, FL.
