Neck Pain & Whiplash Injuries ::
Shoulder
pain, often described as pain radiating down the back of
the neck into the shoulder blade area, also may be the result
of tensed muscles. Muscle tears often are described as burning,
prickling or tingling pain. More severe disc damage may
cause sharp pain with certain movements which are relieved
by holding your hand over your head.
If
you experience any of these symptoms, you may have a whiplash
injury that, if left untreated, can cause far more serious
problems months or years later.
The
Quebec Automobile Insurance Society recently released an
exhaustive study of more than 10,382 articles on neck injuries
and concluded most interventions for whiplash injury were
proven, including soft cervical collars and corticosteroid
injections. Yet they recommended spinal manipulation as
being clearly effective. So if you suspect you have a whiplash
injury, and/or have been involved in an automobile accident,
or if you are having neck pain for some other reason our
office is ready to help you with all of the paperwork, including
helping you to get a claim number established and billing
the insurance carrier. We'll help guide you through the
red tape, so that you can focus on getting better.
