Whiplash Treatment in Harrisburg

Whiplash sets on at least 24 hours after an auto accident, and can cause significant pain if it is not treated properly. Learn why you should always see a chiropractor at Skocik Chiropractic in Harrisburg if you have symptoms of whiplash. 

What are the Symptoms of Whiplash? 

Whiplash or neck strain affects everyone differently, yet has some common symptoms. Telltale signs of whiplash include stiffness in neck, neck pain, and increased headaches or migraines. Along with these symptoms, many people are irritated, fatigued, dizzy, or nauseous. 

Our chiropractor in Harrisburg understands the musculoskeletal system. We are uniquely qualified to check the body after trauma such as an auto accident, and to identify symptoms of injuries like whiplash that affect the spine and muscles. Our Harrisburg chiropractor can then begin treating whiplash symptoms quickly to help your body recover. 

How Our Chiropractor Treats Whiplash 

If you think you have whiplash based on the common symptoms, do not take a wait and see approach. Unlike a bruise, whiplash will not go away on its own. Your neck pain will actually get worse and reduce your mobility even further unless you treat whiplash using chiropractic.

Our chiropractic can restore the neck to its proper alignment, reversing any trauma that occurred during the accident. We can loosen muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and ensure that fresh blood gets to the neck muscles to help them recover. Treatment takes several sessions, but most patients feel the benefit right away. 

To heal soft tissue trauma associated with whiplash, we can use a cold laser therapy. The low level laser penetrates the skin to address injuries and provide healing within the muscle tissue itself.  This helps you recover faster while reducing inflammation. 

Chiropractic is a drug-free healing method that is safe for individuals of all ages and highly effective at treating whiplash.
