 Whiplash Injury
Marc Darrow, M.D.
A big problem that leads to whiplash is driving with the head restraints too
low. When someone is in an accident, the force on the vertebrae can actually
tear the vertebral end plates where the vertebrae attach to the discs and tear
ligaments. Sometimes you can't see this on X- rays or
MRIs as it can be a very
subtle thing. So many times doctors do not see "objective findings" when they
look at the diagnostic studies. They don't find anything at all, except that
these people have a lot of misery. (But in many cases) it is an injury to the
structures that hold up the head and that can be the ligaments, the parts of the
muscles that attach to the bones, it can be the discs themselves. In addition,
there are so many different side effects that can come from this,
neck pain
to
headache, some people get allergy type symptoms, they get GI complaints where
there stomach is inflamed, anxiety problems, even depression. Some people even
have
fibromyalgia, widespread pain, set off by a car accident.
In my opinion,
Prolotherapy
is the best treatment for
whiplash because what it
does is help stabilize the vertebrae. Very often people think it is the muscle
that is the cause of the
whiplash pain and problems. But when a muscle spasms it
usually spasms because there is an injury to the area where the muscle attaches
to the bone and that is where we inject the
Prolotherapy solutions.
How fast does
Prolotherapy work for whiplash? It depends on the patient, some
can come in for one shot and improve immediately, others may take a month or two
months before they get any healing response.
In whiplash injury, I would not do
Prolotherapy for about 3-4 weeks after the
injury to see how much natural healing takes place on its own. People usually
stay inflamed for a few weeks, if the
Inflammation
doesn't go away then we use
Prolotherapy
to help re-inflame the area, get more blood flow to the area and
create a healing situation.
