The Chiropractic Answer to Whiplash Chiropractic may offer the best opportunity for relief from the pain of whiplash, according to a study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Medicine. Ninety-three patients with chronic whiplash symptoms were divided into three groups based upon the nature and severity of their symptoms. All 93 patients received an average of 19.3 chiropractic adjustments over the study period (about four months). Results showed that two of the three groups (patients with neck pain, restricted neck range of motion and/or neurological symptoms) improved under chiropractic care, with 85.5 percent reporting "some benefit," 33.5 percent improving by two symptom grades, and 31 percent being relieved of all symptoms. The authors of this study conclude, when it comes to treating whiplash, "chiropractic is the only proven effective treatment."
