What is Whiplash?

Much like the name states, whiplash is the occurrence of a sudden jolt backward followed by an equally jarring push forward.

This most commonly occurs in the neck and head. As the laws of physics state – “An object in motion, stays in motion.”

What this means when applied to a whiplash scenario, is when a person is driving, or sitting in a car traveling down the road, and gets into an accident, it causes the body to experience a rapid loss of acceleration, which leads to the neck and head whipping back and forth causing the brain to keep moving after the head stops.

Our necks and heads are not built to withstand this jarring occurrence, and therefore many injuries are sustained in even “minor” car accidents. Whiplash can also occur in sports or any other scenario where an accident can cause you to rapidly lose momentum and force your head and neck to whip back and forth.

If you experienced whiplash, you might have sustained damage to your neck, spine, and even brain in the form of a concussion. It is best to get to receive analysis the extent of your injuries immediately. BrainScope is a leading accident, traumatic brain injury, and concussions diagnostic procedure that is FDA approved for only 72 hours post-injury. Though it will be challenging to think clearly after a car accident, keep this timeline in mind for your immediate and future health and wellbeing.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture can relieve acute and hopefully prevent occuring of the chronic pain and help patients feel well again. Rather than masking the pain with toxic painkillers, regular acupuncture treatments can help ease the pain from car accident injuries, as well as strengthen the body to eventually recover from the initial injury that is causing the discomfort pain and suffering.

Soundwave Therapies

Soundwave Therapy is the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment method for foot and ankle pain cleared by the FDA.

While surgery is the standard treatment for many foot and ankle pain disorders, surgery can result in undesirable side effects such as scarring, delayed healing, nerve entrapment, and infection as well as several weeks or months of downtime while the patient heals.

Until recently, surgery was the only option to treat certain cases of foot, Achilles, tendon and heel pain.

With the introduction of Focused and Radial Soundwave therapy, patients now have a viable alternative to surgery when treating these disorders.

Injection Therapies

Our patients like homeopathic injections to provide a healing boost to patients experiencing moderate to severe injuries or ailments, including pain, bruising, etc. Homeopathic injections RX help car accident sufferers manage their pain, reduce swelling, and achieve a better sense of well-being. with no opioids,
we try to avoid the use of opioids in our practice at all cost, but it is ok with us if you are taking them by prescription from your doctors.

Injection therapies administered at Original Health Institute include:
• Homeopathics – Injections that adhere to the essential requirements of homeopathic medicine. Used for ailments from acute pain, and to make sure chronic pain does not happen or acute pain does not convert to chronic.
• PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma injections require a simple yet effective healing process that begins with a blood draw from the patient, spinning the blood in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets in the blood that contain the majority of our body’s healing factors and then reintroducing the blood that is now a potent healing cocktail back into the afflicted area. As it leans on the patient’s healing elements, this process is not only extremely safe but also effective at treating nearly any injury or ailment.

Physical Manipulation

Specific injuries require a more hands-on approach. Deep tissue massages (available, if indicated) and physical manipulation can help release the pressure, pain, and discomfort caused by a car accident. Capping off the trio of naturopathic treatment options for car accident injuries, physical manipulation can help loosen tight muscles and improve the patient’s range of motion in the injured region, or regions, of the body.
