During the early stages of whiplash, it is important to note that the biggest concern is inflammation. Our auto injury chiropractor in West Chester uses several chiropractic treatment modalities to help reduce inflammation and the complications associated with it. Here in our clinic, our doctor determines the best course of whiplash treatment based on his initial examination of your spinal assessment. He will check for an intervertebral disc injury, joint motion restriction, ligament injuries, and muscle spasms. Ultrasound treatments are generally one of the first whiplash treatments applied. Our chiropractor also uses spinal manipulation as a treatment for whiplash. Depending on the severity of the patient's’ condition, our chiropractor may choose to use instrument assisted manipulation versus the flexion-distraction technique.
