Whiplash Injury Specialist & Chiropractor for Whiplash

Common approaches include pain killers (such as Panadol and Ibuprofen), massage, injections, ultrasound and even surgery in rare cases; however if the C1 and C2 aren’t correct the problems will persist, sometimes for years after. Unfortunately, most of these therapies are short-term or in some cases do not work. If the pressure remains on the sympathetic and cranial nerves due to the Atlanto Occipital Subluxation, the symptoms will return. Other approaches include rehabilitation. This can help to manage the symptoms but cannot correct the problem. Upper Cervical care has a long history of especially good success with whiplash injuries due to its focus on the problems at C1 and C2. Once the Subluxation (misalignment) is corrected at these bones (caused by the whiplash injury itself) the muscles, ligaments and other joints can heal properly and remove the secondary symptoms. Chiropractors focus on the nerve system. Upper Cervical specific Chiropractors specialise in the bones in the top part of the neck, known as the Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2). This is the location of the Atlanto Occipital Articulation. Head and neck trauma has been reported by patients (either recently or in the past) for all whiplash cases. Patients regularly see stark improvements with upper cervical care from a whiplash injury specialist, particularly dizziness, vertigo and fullness of the ear. Improvements in hearing and tinnitus are regularly reported, more so beyond 6 weeks. The duration required for whiplash management in Singapore can vary depending on the severity of the injury and the patient’s response to care. In general, mild cases of whiplash can take a few weeks to a few months to fully heal, while more severe cases may require several months to recover.
