Whiplash

Whiplash in an injury to the muscles of the neck and back, caused by sudden and forceful jerking of the head forward and backwards. It is commonly caused by motor accidents, but can also be caused in other ways such as falling from a bike or horse, sports injury or even on a rollercoaster!

Symptoms include pain and soreness to the neck, back and shoulders, headache, numbness and tingling in the arms and hands. Applying ice to the area as soon as possible will help to reduce any inflammation, and medical attention should be sought if there is any confusion, loss of consciousness or other serious symptoms.

Treatment by acupuncture and/or tui na massage are normally extremely effective in treating whiplash, especially if treatment is received soon after the injury. Untreated whiplash normally appears to get better after a few days or weeks, but can have long lasting effects, leading to muscle pain and stiffness and headaches long after the injury itself.

By working on trigger points and tight muscles in the back and neck, acupuncture and tui na can effectively reduce pain and soreness, improve the range of movement and help to prevent any future problems.
