Car accidents are a common cause of whiplash, which is why Utah Injury Clinic has undergone advanced chiropractic training to better diagnose and treat patients suffering from accident or whiplash-related injuries. When treating traumatic injuries or those caused by the body experiencing a sudden force, it’s critical for your chiropractor to conduct a full-body assessment and a thorough evaluation while paying close attention to the strength and health of your joint capsules, spinal ligaments, and intervertebral discs, as those can all be seriously injured without the presence of any symptoms. With this in mind, Utah Injury Clinic spends time understanding how your injury occurred and is dedicated to identifying the root cause of your pain, rather than just treating the symptoms of your injury.
In more severe cases of whiplash, cognitive or psychological conditions such as fatigue, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), difficulty concentrating, memory loss or insomnia may occur. The severity of your whiplash and the risk of experiencing these symptoms is often determined by whether or not your head was turned during the moment of impact, as well as if you suffered from blunt force head trauma during your accident. Here at Utah Injury Clinic, we are committed to not just relieving your pain, reducing muscular tension and improving your range of motion, but ultimately helping you become a happier, healthier you after treatment.
If you are suffering from whiplash or any of the symptoms mentioned above, call us today at (801) 747-2886 to schedule your appointment.
