Find chiropractic care help from your Charlotte chiropractor if you have been
injured related to car accident. There are small collisions sometimes that can
result to having neck pain that will not go away unless treated properly. The sudden
movement of the head in two directions is called the whiplash. This is normally
the reason why the muscles surrounding the tissues of the head and neck are
strain. The muscles are normally contracting and tightening that creates
fatigues. This will then results to stiffness and pain. The spinal joints,
ligaments, discs, nerve roots and muscles are affected by the severe whiplash. If
you have been experiencing whiplash, the sooner you get treatment for it, the
better and sooner your injury can be resolved. Chronic pain is the result of
the untreated neck injuries to people.
Cervical spine or the neck starts to the base of your skull
and it is composed of seven small vertebrae. These are the ones supporting the
weight of the head that is 12 pounds normally and provide the ability for it to
flex and do movements in every direction. Due to the biomechanics of the neck,
it is very prone to injury and neck pain. There are also other factors that can
affect the neck besides from the whiplash such as extended sitting, repetitive
movements, falls and blows. With the help of chiropractic care, chronic neck
pain will be improved very well. Your Charlotte chiropractors such as those at
ChiroCarolina can help you if you have been injured.
