Chiropractic patients often ask how long it will take to treat their whiplash. In an automobile accident, the extent of injuries may differ depending on impact speed as well as on direction of angle of force. The victim’s age, physical condition, and willingness to hasten recovery are also important factors.
If you are in an accident, your Chiropractor (a Doctor of Chiropractic) will ask whether or not you were wearing a seatbelt, what your position was before impact, and of you braced yourself at impact. A good chiropractor should require necessary x-rays before manipulating your spine and/or other joints to treat injured muscles and ligaments to restore natural movement and position of the vertebrae.
In the beginning, the chiropractor will have difficulty determining the length of treatment, and whether the problem will be resolved or if it will become chronic. In most cases, you will need treatments for several months even to confirm that the injury has been eliminated. Regardless of accident specifics, the sooner care begins the better.
