What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden back-and-forth movement of the head, often the result of car accidents, falls, or contact sports. This rapid movement can strain the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck, leading to stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility.
Common symptoms of whiplash include:
- Neck pain or stiffness
- Reduced range of motion
- Headaches (especially at the base of the skull)
- Shoulder or upper back pain
- Dizziness or jaw discomfort
If untreated, whiplash can lead to long-term issues such as chronic neck pain and postural imbalances.
Chiropractic Treatment for Whiplash in East London
At Wapping Chiropractic, our goal is to address the underlying damage caused by whiplash and support your body’s natural healing process. We do this using a combination of techniques tailored to your specific condition.
Initial Assessment & Diagnosis: Your first appointment includes a thorough review of your injury history, symptoms, and posture, along with a hands-on assessment to determine the most effective approach for your recovery.
Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments: We use precise spinal adjustments, including the Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT), to realign the spine, reduce pressure on nerves, and restore proper joint function. These techniques are especially effective in relieving neck tension and stiffness.
Soft Tissue Therapy: Using soft tissue therapy, including trigger point release and myofascial stretching, we help reduce muscle tightness, inflammation, and spasms associated with whiplash.
Mobility & Rehab Exercises: We provide specific range-of-motion exercises designed to improve neck flexibility and shoulder mobility, tailored to your recovery stage.
Posture & Ergonomic Advice: Poor posture can worsen recovery. We offer detailed posture and lifestyle advice to support long-term healing and prevent future injuries, especially for desk-based professionals.
Complementary Therapies: Depending on your symptoms, we may recommend complementary services such as dry needling to accelerate recovery and reduce inflammation.
