Whiplash is a common injury resulting from the sudden jerking of the head, often occurring in car accidents. This injury can lead to neck pain, headaches, dizziness, and a host of other uncomfortable symptoms. At Denver Physical Medicine & Rehab, we specialize in diagnosing and treating whiplash and other auto-related injuries. Our goal is to help you regain mobility, reduce pain, and restore your quality of life.
Our Comprehensive Approach to Treatment
Physical Therapy (PT)
Our experienced physical therapists create personalized rehabilitation programs tailored to your specific needs. We focus on:
- Strengthening Exercises: To support the neck and surrounding muscles, improving stability and function.
- Stretching Techniques: To enhance flexibility and range of motion in the cervical spine.
- Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to relieve pain and improve mobility.
- With a combination of therapeutic exercises and manual interventions, we aim to restore normal function and alleviate discomfort caused by whiplash.
Pain Management
Effective pain management is crucial for recovery from whiplash. Our team employs various strategies, including:
- Medication Management: We evaluate your condition and may prescribe anti-inflammatory medications or muscle relaxants to ease pain and reduce inflammation.
- Therapeutic Modalities: Techniques such as heat and cold therapy, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation can help manage pain and promote healing.
- Our pain management specialists work closely with you to develop a comprehensive plan that prioritizes your comfort and well-being.
Injection Therapy
For more severe pain that does not respond to conservative treatments, we offer injection therapy options:
- Corticosteroid Injections: These injections can help reduce inflammation and provide relief from acute pain.
- Trigger Point Injections: Targeting specific muscle knots can alleviate pain and improve muscle function.
- Our medical professionals are skilled in performing these procedures safely and effectively, ensuring you receive the best care possible.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is an effective complement to other treatments for whiplash and auto injuries. Our licensed massage therapists utilize techniques such as:
- Deep Tissue Massage: To relieve tension and tightness in the muscles around the neck and shoulders.
