Whiplash Injury Treatment - New Evidence
Whiplash Injury Treatment
How to treat acute whiplash neck injury
New research has confirmed what many involved in treating whiplash injury patients already know. If the initial treatment is too intensive or aggressive then recovery can be delayed not quickened. There may be something to be said for going back to an inital period of rest in a neck collar - something doctors, physiotherapists and chiropractors had moved away from recently.
The new research study was published in the May 25 Early View issue and June print issue of the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism.
"Although there are few effective treatments for curing whiplash, a growing body of evidence suggests that the delivery of intensive aggressive health care shortly after the injury may lead to a longer recovery period" said one of the researchers.
The study showed that those who simply attended their family doctor got better quicker than those who had early intensive hands on treatment from a chiropractor or a physiotherapist.
The results add to the body of evidence suggesting that early aggressive treatment of whiplash injuries does not promote faster recovery.
In particular, the combination of chiropractic and general practitioner care seemed to significantly reduce the rate of recovery
