Whiplash symptoms may include neck stiffness, back pain, myofascial (muscle and ligament) injury, dizziness, headache, shoulder pain, numbness, and difficulty swallowing or chewing. To get an accurate diagnosis of the extent of your whiplash injury, it may be necessary for your physician to do some diagnostic films such as x-rays or an MRI.

Symptoms such as burning and tingling may indicate muscle tears. If muscles become tight and motion is limited, it may be indicative of injury to ligaments in the neck. Involuntary twisting can be the result of whiplash when the neck muscles that control head extension and rotation are severely damaged. Any symptom of whiplash may be worsened if the patient has a pre-existing health condition such as arthritis, or is elderly.

If whiplash symptoms don't resolve within a couple of months, this may indicate that the condition will become chronic. Disability may be the end result if intervention is unsuccessful. To have the best opportunity for complete recovery from whiplash symptoms, it's important to see a licensed healthcare provider for the appropriate treatment regimen. The sooner treatment is initiated, the better the chances for full recovery.

Physical therapists and chiropractors are often the professionals of choice to administer treatment for whiplash symptoms. Therapeutic soundwave technology--such as that used by our therapeutic ultrasound device--plays a vital role in the rapidity of muscle restoration and pain reduction from whiplash.

A Black Body Radiant Energy Kit is one of the most helpful tools for a wide varity of painful back muscle related problems. Through the absorption of radiant energy, tissues are safely and gently heated - increasing blood flow within the treated area. Your body’s natural response to this increased temperature is to try to maintain a condition of homeostasis — a balanced environment or state of equilibrium throughout the body. To do this, your body responds with a rapid increase in blood flow to the area (this is known as vasodilation), increasing the supply of nutrients to injured cells and flushing out toxins (including lactic acid, commonly found in trigger points) to promote healing. Our Thermotex Platinum Pain Relief Device provides effective, non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief with no side effects.

Ultrasound therapy is also a helpful tool for pain prevention of back muscle problems, and having a portable ultrasound device at home can be a powerful and convenient treatment tool. If you have symptoms or are recovering from a back related injury, using ultrasound on a regular basis before your activity or throughout the day will help relax your muscles, tendons and tissues, diminish pain and inflammation, soften scar tissue and contribute greatly to the healing of your injury.

If you suffer from pain after certain activities or movements use ultrasound therapy when you complete the activity and then rest. Limit the application of ultrasound to a couple of treatments per day (the manual will recommend treatment frequency depending upon the injury). In between ultrasound treatments, maximize your pain relief and injury recovery by using the Thermotex Personal Therapy System. Proven Performance, Proven Relief - only found at MendMeShop.com. If you have been given a treatment plan by your health professional, make sure you adhere to it to ensure pain free living. In general, people who are committed to their therapies and exercises will have the best medical outcomes.
