Helpful for Chronic Whiplash Symptoms

A past case study reveals that chronic whiplash injury patients can respond well to conservative management including chiropractic spinal manipulation, soft tissue work, and post-isometric relaxation techniques in addition to active rehabilitation exercises, self stretches, and proprioceptive exercises. 

After seven treatments, a patient with chronic whiplash-associated disorder reported no neck pain, no headaches, and had unrestricted cervical spine range of motion. Four months after treatment ceased, the patient reported only mild, intermittent neck pain.
