Suffering from whiplash after an accident? Find natural, lasting healing in the hands of Dr. Richard Ranicke at Great Lakes Chiropractic in Brown Deer, WI.
How Does Whiplash Occur?
The neck has several muscles and other soft tissues essential to your daily life. In the event of a car accident, sports injury, severe fall, or similar incident, your neck will move forcefully and rapidly – or “whip” around.
When this happens, it creates tears in the soft tissues of the neck, which affect the ability to move the neck. It can also lead to a great deal of pain and suffering. Not only can it interfere with mobility, but it can also lead to headaches, shoulder tension, and more.
Benefits of Visiting a Chiropractor for Whiplash in Brown Deer, WI
Chiropractors focus on treating issues in the musculoskeletal system – which is exactly where whiplash occurs. And there are several treatments that can address the pain and discomfort that whiplash brings.
When visiting Dr. Ranicke at Great Lakes Chiropractic, one of the first and main focuses will be on reducing inflammation. This is often done through treatments like therapeutic exercises, ultrasound therapy, heat therapy, and cold laser therapy.
Another common approach is cervical adjustments. These help to restore your range of motion, address any misalignment, and help reduce tension.
Though they are very effective, Dr. Ranicke will not always perform adjustments during your first appointment if there is too much inflammation. Inflammation can interfere with the effectiveness of the adjustments. It can also make any movement in the neck painful. Therefore, when your inflammation is severe, Dr. Ranicke will wait for adjustments until other treatment methods have decreased the inflammation.
No matter your needs, Dr. Ranicke is dedicated to helping meet them. Through a personalized approach, he will be by your side to help you achieve natural and lasting recovery from whiplash and any other condition you might be facing.
