Chiro Treatment for whiplash

Amy... I've had bowen once, i can't remember if it did much, i don't think i had it for this issue though, more just to try.

I guess i think that this is really a bone issue and its so bad i don't know if just muscle manipulation would help you know?

my pain was headaches (migraine level) - i didn't notice any other real pain because i was getting migraines at least every week - and they were lasting up to 4 days (great when you're doing VCE!)

i went twice weekly for a fortnight, then weekly for about 6 weeks, then fortnightly for about 6 weeks - after that, i started going once a month just for maintenance - for about six months (my call because i was doing VCE and didn't want to get the headaches back) - then onto whenever i needed it (prolly every six weeks or so). once i started uni, i had a regular appointment whenever i was on hols (so probably half dozen times a year)

it will take some time - if you've had several years of your neck muscles compensating for the back being out, it will take an amount of time for it to regain strength and stability in it's proper place. i know i have ongoing issues, but i had probs for a LONG time before it was treated. i have only been to chiro once since being pg (about three weeks ago) when i was getting headaches. i've got them again now, and need to go back, but it's so hard to get there when ms is making me ill when i go in the car - i think that will be a monday thing!

it's worth persisting if you can get relief, and at least reduce the amount of headaches and neck pain. if your chiro suggest maintenance after a while, do it - you can stretch it out as you go, but don't let it get to a "i feel good" point and let it drop back off. a good chiro will be honest and not try to get you in unneccesarily - but for a while, you will need regular treatment - and you may find it's not a quick "cure"

i saw my chiro for 2 visits p/w for 3 weeks the 1 visit p/w for 3 weeks. i havent had to go back for a yr..
(just been back to a new one and he has flaired it up again )
mine was hip and lower back which got slammed into a arm rest in a car accident. the pg and childbirth made it unbearable.
there are different types of chiropractic, bone crunchers are not generally good.
i found physio did nothing and has been a waste of money (have seen 4/5 over the last 10 yrs for the same issue)
