Welcome to Arne Wellness Center in Highlands Ranch and Littleton

While it is often sustained in motor vehicle accidents, whiplash can occur with any type of trauma that causes the head and neck to suddenly snap in multiple directions. When the head is abruptly jarred forward and backward, side to side, or backward and forward, it causes muscles and other soft tissues in the neck to flex and extend in a whipping motion. This motion is what causes severe sprain/strain in the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and supportive tissues in the neck, upper back, and shoulders. As a result, people experience a range of acute symptoms that, when left untreated, could cause lingering problems to develop over time. That’s why beginning whiplash treatment right away is essential to your health and wellness.

What causes Whiplash?

Whiplash is often associated with car accidents, but the truth is, you can suffer a whiplash injury any number of ways.

Auto Accidents

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries sustained in car accidents, including front-end collisions, side collisions, and rear-end collisions. In fact, the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) reports that about two-thirds of people involved in motor vehicle accidents will develop whiplash symptoms. Most people don’t realize that whiplash can still occur in low-speed collisions. Even those as low as five miles per hour!

Contact Sports and Athletics

Contact sports and highly physical athletics can also cause whiplash. From football to basketball to hockey and soccer, person-to-person collisions can cause this type of neck injury. High-intensity sports such as cycling, skiing, boxing, and water sports can also be linked to whiplash.

Personal Injuries

Whiplash is also attributed to many different types of personal injuries. These include riding recreational vehicles such as dirt bikes and ATVs. Slip and fall accidents can also result in whiplash injuries. One thing that people don’t often link to whiplash is riding amusement park rides, rollercoasters, and other forceful thrill rides that can cause the head to whip suddenly in a direction.

How can your Chiropractor help with Whiplash?

Your chiropractor performs focused and controlled manipulations to the neck, upper back, and shoulders to correct misalignments in the spine, which are in this case caused by a trauma to the neck area. Additionally, Dr. Arne and his trusted team may apply ultrasound to alleviate inflammation and swelling, as well as light stretching techniques and manual therapy techniques. By working the soft tissues and joints manually, your chiropractor can reduce tension, inflammation, swelling, and pain, while also encouraging healthy circulation to the damaged soft tissues for more effective healing.

Here are some of the benefits of chiropractic care for a whiplash injury:

  • Provides an accurate injury diagnosis
  • Relaxes the muscles and soft tissues
  • Reduces tension in the muscles and joints of the neck, upper back, and shoulders
  • Relieves pressure on nearby nerves
  • Stimulates the body’s own healing abilities
  • Decreases stiffness and weakness
  • Improves range of motion and movement

More than a Chiropractic office.

Excellent Chiropractic interest.

"Excellent chiropractic internist, and acupuncturist. Dr. Arne has been a game changer for our family. He figured my body pain was due to Lyme, which is now dormant due to his treatments. We had chronic sinuses infections, used antibiotics 6-7 times a year, we are now antibiotic free due to Arne’s ability to accurately identify virus/bacterial infections and treat them instead of a doctor handing us an antibiotic to treat what they thought was the issue. Definitely recommend when traditional medicine has failed and you are still searching for answers... Read More

Gentler approach.

"Dr Arne turned my life around. I had been suffering with the effects of Chronic Lyme disease and related co-infections for over a decade, even after 5 years of intense antibiotics, the last 9 months twice a day through an IV. I found Arne Wellness when I decided to eliminate all the toxic pharmaceuticals and try a gentler approach. It worked! Dr Arne guided me on a healing journey that eliminated all my symptoms. Using herbals and energy/frequency medicine, I barely noticed the gradual improvements until, after less than two years of treatment, my Lyme-related issues were resolved... Read More
