What To Do If You Think You Have Whiplash in Denver?

See your family chiropractor in Denver as soon as possible.  Emergency room visits are not enough to determine whether or not you have significant injuries.

Even common over-the-counter medications have side effects.  NSAID’s or medications like; Naproxen, Celebrex, Ibuprofen, Motrin, etc. SLOW DOWN HEALING.

Neck braces, or cervical collars have side-effects as well.  Neck muscles get weaker with long term collar use.  If worn for months or years, cervical collars lead to osteoporosis or bone thinning.  If you see someone wearing a neck brace, tell them to visit a chiropractor for a second opinion.

CAN WHIPLASH AFFECT YOUR BRAIN?

Concussions are fairly common with whiplash injuries.  The brain is delicate and the violent shaking that occurs in even minor accidents can injure the brain.  Do you have: headache, confusion, sleepiness, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delayed response to questions, memory loss, or excessive fatigue?

If you have any of the above symptoms you may have a concussion.  Ask Doctor Steven Visentin of Care Chiropractic in Denver if it can be managed conservatively.
