How Ligaments Can Become Damaged

You have nine ligaments in your neck that make up the support system of your vertebrae. One ligament connects to the disk in your back, which is important. But there are also eight other ligaments that take most of the force in a car crash or other high-impact collision. These can be permanently damaged if not properly dealt with.

The Importance of Prompt Care

At 479 Chiropractic & Wellness, we have the expertise to diagnose and care for head injuries and whiplash in a way that promotes complete healing.

The sooner you come into our Bentonville office and see Dr. Zac, the better. Whiplash becomes more difficult to solve as you get farther from the moment of impact. As the more time ligaments are stuck in the wrong position, the harder they are to correct.

While it is preferred that you come in as soon as possible for whiplash, Dr. Zac has also spoken with patients who had a car accident years ago. It would take a while to get it under control, but care that heals symptoms and reverses long-term aches and pains is possible.

What to Expect

Usually we start with neck adjustments, but decisions for how to care for whiplash are made case-by-case.

Lower-force, iInstrument-assisted adjustments are available as an option, in addition to the traditional manual adjustments. Dr. Zac may suggest ultrasound therapy, then rehab exercises and postural awareness, as we seek the right combination that brings complete healing to you.
