Zemella Chiropractic Administers Chiropractic Care for Whiplash Injuries in Santa Barbara, CA

Whiplash is a relatively common injury that occurs to a person’s neck following sudden acceleration-deceleration force that causes unrestrained, rapid forward and backward movement of the head and neck, most commonly from motor vehicle accidents. Whiplash most often occurs during a rear-end auto accident, but the injury can also result from a sports accident, physical abuse or other trauma. When whiplash occurs, Dr. Paul Zemella of Zemella Chiropractic can provide the finest professional quality care through the use of modern chiropractic equipment and technology.

Whiplash results when the soft tissues – the muscles and ligaments – of the neck are extended beyond their typical range of motion. Common signs and symptoms of whiplash include neck pain, stiffness and headaches. Most people with whiplash recover within a few months after a course of pain medication, exercise and chiropractic treatments. Recovery time depends on how serious your whiplash is and the chiropractic treatment for whiplash depends on the severity of the injury. Most cases resolve in a few days, but other neck strains may take longer to heal. Fortunately, whiplash is typically not a life threatening injury.

At Zemella Chiropractic, Dr. Paul Zemella can provide whiplash patients relief through electrical stimulation therapy as well as spinal adjustments and manipulation. It is critical to see your doctor if you experience any neck pain or other whiplash symptoms following a car accident, sports injury, or other traumatic injury. It is important to get a prompt and accurate diagnosis and to rule out fractures or other tissue damage that may be contributing to symptoms.
