Improved Cervical Range of Motion

You see people with those big bulky cervical collars around their necks all the time. The usual explanation, “I was involved in an auto accident and am suffering from whiplash!” The fact is that an estimated 53% of all motor vehicle accidents result in whiplash injuries and 43% of those with whiplash injuries fail to fully recover. And research indicates that two of the best indicators of poor prognosis for recovery from whiplash injuries are initial neck pain and reduced cervical range of motion.

Telephone shoulder!

So…what’s a cervical range of motion/whiplash sufferer to do? Make their way to their chiropractor’s office as soon as possible after the accident, of course!

Studies show that chiropractic adjustments immediately following whiplash injuries help to reduce pain and restore range of motion. One such study suggests that patients with restricted or reduced cervical range of motion that lasts for six months or more are at far greater risk for long-term problems.

A study conducted in Spain and reported in the September 2006 Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that just one cervical adjustment was more effective in reducing cervical pain and increasing range of motion that any other type of manual mobilization procedure.

If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident or feel pain in your neck with any type of movement, please call our office to schedule an appointment for a thorough examination. Cervical chiropractic adjustments are safe and very effective in restoring improved range of motion and in reducing neck pain. We’d be delighted to share our “success stories” with you!
