Whiplash Treatment: Advanced Technology for Preventing Neck and Back Pain
Whiplash is a neck injury usually caused by a sudden, sharp movement of the head back and forth, such as in a car accident., when the seat belt prevents the body from moving forward and only the head moves forward and then backward. As a result, the neck, its ligaments and vertebrae are stretched. In addition to the neck, the impact can also be in the middle of the spine, and sometimes there can be repercussions towards the shoulder.
Such an injury can also be caused by activities such as bungee jumping, sudden falls, sports injuries, sharp head jolts, and historically there are also known cases of it due to train collisions. However, and although many insurance claims are in this context, the mechanism that causes the injury is still not completely clear.
The injury can cause neck pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and sometimes shoulder and upper back pain and limited range of motion. It can also cause sleep disturbances, concentration problems, and memory problems.
The problem is diagnosed through a head and neck examination, X-rays to rule out bone fractures, and medical imaging to determine if there are other injuries.
While most cases of whiplash improve within a few weeks, some can become chronic, with symptoms lasting longer or even worsening. In such cases, a doctor should be consulted and intervention should be sought as soon as possible to reduce the risk of complications.
Treatments for shin splints
Initial treatment: After an injury, the first day or two are critical. Rest and ice are essential to prevent and reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers can also help relieve pain. If the pain is severe or persistent, your doctor may recommend muscle relaxants or corticosteroid injections, which can help reduce inflammation and pain. Advanced techniques such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy provide relief by stimulating nerves with electrical impulses.
Physiotherapy: Gentle neck and back movements help treat a whiplash injury by restoring neck strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Licensed physical therapists treat the injury with exercises, stretches, and posture correction techniques to promote healing. Maintaining gentle movement will minimize neck/back stiffness and prevent the injury from worsening.
Manual treatments: Chiropractic and massage therapy for whiplash injuries helps realign the cervical spine and relieve pressure on the affected areas. Massage helps release tight muscles, improves blood flow to the injured area, reduces pain, and facilitates recovery.
Alternative therapies : Among those that are particularly popular for treating whiplash – relieving pain and relaxing the muscles and spine – you can find Chinese acupuncture and yoga.
Ensuring a proper working environmentTo prevent neck strain, strategies for maintaining proper posture and appropriate physical activities should be used in the long term. Proper installation of the desk, supportive pillows, and a suitable chair (especially if you work in a sedentary job – in an office or driving for long periods).
Advanced treatment for whiplash
MEDKEY technology , performed in the sophisticated and innovative Q Room treatment room, provides a focused and rapid response to pain, and is based on technology. Precise and direct pain management. All treatments are performed by physiotherapists. Certified and only 25 minutes long.
Imagine a room that you enter with pain and leave with a smile. Q-room is a healing room where you treat exactly where the pain is, with a variety of technological devices developed in Germany and based on data and knowledge accumulated over more than 80 years. This is one of the unique treatments that not only relieves pain and treats symptoms, but also encourages the body’s cells to fully recover.
You don’t have to wait weeks for appointments, go to a distant clinic, or be dependent on a specific therapist – at every Q Room branch you can receive quick and effective treatment in just a few sessions.
MEDKEY technology in Q-room works in several ways that can improve range of motion:
- Pain reduction: The stimulation helps reduce pain signals sent to the brain and reduces the sensation of pain. This allows patients to move their neck more freely and without fear of pain.
- Release of endorphins: MEDKEY technology treatment encourages the body to release endorphins, which are natural pain relievers. The release of endorphins helps reduce pain and makes it easier to continue treatment through exercises to improve range of motion and strength.
- Muscle relaxation: Q-room therapy helps relax stiff and contracted muscles around the affected area, which accelerates improvement in neck movement.
- Improved blood flow: Q-room therapy helps improve blood flow to the treated area. Improved blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues, helping the body begin its natural healing process.
- Reducing inflammation and swelling: Electrical stimulation therapy can help reduce inflammation and swelling in the affected area. Treating inflammation helps reduce pain and improve range of motion.
The combination of all these factors leads to improved neck movement and increased range of motion, allowing patients to perform daily activities more easily and comfortably. In addition, the treatment may help reduce stress hormone levels and cope with the associated physiological and psychological symptoms.
Benefits of Q-room treatment for shin splints
* Short and effective treatments: The technology allows the desired energy to be transferred to the body in a short time.
* Rapid therapeutic effect : Most patients experience improvement after the first treatment.
* Treatment without side effects : The technology stimulates and activates the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
* Few contraindications : The innovative technology can identify changes in tissues and is therefore able to help in situations where other treatment methods cannot be used (for example, in areas with metals and orthopedic implants in the body).
