Whiplash Neck Pain

The weather is here again and the weatherman says snow in PDX is likely. That means the probability of accidents will go up. Front enders, side impacts, rear enders... They all mean the same thing. High risk of injury.

Understand that pain from an auto accident might be immediate, or it might come on after a few days. Either way, you need to be seen by someone who is experienced in documenting and treating the complicated condition of whiplash.

Our bodies are extremely complicated. You might not know that your brain is supplied with constant stimulation by how your joints are affected by gravity. When you get into a car accident, the joints of your body get slammed around and frequently, they simply get stuck.

Well guess what? Those very joints do not work the same in gravity and... it changes the very way your brain works! That's why some people experience dizziness, numbness or tingles, stomach upset and a whole host of other symptoms.

So, its really important to be evaluated by a specialist. And I don't mean a medical doctor. Sure, maybe it's a good idea to go to the ER for those "just in case" scenarios. But after that, Fox Chiropractic Clinic is a very good option.

Our providers have a combined experience of nearly 60 years! You can bet we have successfully treated a lot of conditions just like yours. Maybe you need good old fashion hands on chiropractic care. Maybe you need a more gentle method of correcting those stuck joints and maybe your would benefit from massage or acupuncture. One thing is certain, you need a good check of your nervous system.

Whatever your specific treatments needs may be, we can probably provide it. Check out our web site and call us to schedule your first visit. We are here to help you!
