Whiplash Chiropractor Boise

Dr Troy has Advanced Training in Whiplash & Injury Treatment from the Spine Research Institute of San Diego

Whiplash is a term that describes injury to the neck that occurs as a result of a motor vehicle or car accident. The most common type of car accident is the rear impact, and most typically, the occupant in the vehicle that gets “rear-ended” (hit from behind) is at the greatest risk of injury.

Until recently, the reason for the extent of injury was poorly understood. In addition, due to the legal and insurance issues, the veracity of complaints of neck pain and other symptoms by people who suffer from whiplash is commonly viewed as suspect.

However, recent research has helped clarify why occupants struck from behind experience more extensive injuries than those in other types of car crashes. This new information is important for the Boise whiplash chiropractor when treating these problems, as it impacts Dr Troy's case management strategy.

In fact, whiplash injuries can be quite complex and may include a variety of related problems, such as:

• Joint dysfunction
• Disc herniation
• Faulty movement patterns
• Chronic pain
• Cognitive and higher center dysfunction

Whiplash Injury Chiropractor

Chiropractors are specialists in treating non-surgical spine injuries and commonly treat whiplash injuries from car accidents. The job of the chiropractor in helping his or her patients overcome the pain and disability associated with whiplash is to:

• Diagnose the source of the pain
• Treat the most important dysfunctions
• Teach the patient to return to a more normal lifestyle

The process of rehabilitation requires a concerted effort between the chiropractor, the patient and any other professional assisting in the case. The likelihood of success is enhanced by a continued focus on restoring normal function.
