Whiplash Treatment in Woodbury
After an auto accident, many patients come to us expecting neck stiffness and not much else. What they often discover is that whiplash can affect far more than they realized. Headaches, dizziness, brain fog, difficulty with speech, memory lapses, and even changes in taste or smell are all symptoms we commonly see.
Numbness or tingling in the arms and fingers, upper back pain, and a feeling that the neck simply cannot support the weight of the head are also telling signs that something deeper is going on. Our job is to help you see the full picture, not just the obvious ones.
Why Acting Quickly Matters
One of the most important things to understand about whiplash is that soft tissue continues to tear with normal daily use after the injury occurs. This means that feeling “okay” in the first day or two can be misleading. Without a proper baseline diagnosis established early, it becomes much harder to determine the true extent of the injury, and much harder to help you heal fully. Coming in promptly after an accident gives us the information we need to protect you and start you on the right path.
Accurate Diagnosis Makes All the Difference
At Schmidt Chiropractic Clinic, we do not guess. We measure. We use Spinal EKG and Digital Radiographic Mensuration Analysis, known as D.R.M.A., to objectively identify the exact location and severity of injuries to muscles, ligaments, and nerves. This level of precision matters because without it, no one can truthfully classify an injury as simple or complex. Our science-based diagnostic process gives us and you a clear, honest picture of what your body is dealing with.
What Treatment Looks Like
Because every injury is different, every treatment plan is different as well. Massage, acupuncture, and other supportive therapies may also be incorporated. The goal is always to reduce pain, restore function, and support lasting recovery rather than simply masking symptoms. Depending on the location and severity of your injuries, care may include the following:
- Manual or instrument-aided adjustments
- Cold laser therapy
- Electrical muscle stimulation
- Motorized traction
- Rehabilitation exercises specific to your affected areas
