What treatments are used for whiplash?
Whiplash alone is not a permanent and debilitating injury. It will usually heal on its own and just needs protection of the area and perhaps some pain medication.
If necessary whiplash may be treated with:
- Heat
- A soft neck collar
- Muscle relaxants
- Special exercises
- Physiotherapy
- Chiropractic treatments
- Massage therapy
- Acupuncture
You may need to avoid twisting or turning your neck and your doctor will give you details on how to immobilize it for proper healing. More serious neck and spine injuries will require more involved treatment measures.
Your doctor will perform a series of tests including X-rays and movement tests. A CT Scan or MRI may be needed for a complete evaluation of the neck, back and spine.
How can an accident lawyer help a victim of whiplash?
A British Columbia lawyer who has handled many cases involving whiplash injuries will be well prepared to help your family deal with all the pitfalls. We can arrange for an MRI to be done quickly at no immediate cost to you. We can help you deal with ICBC and other insurance companies to get a fair settlement. In this difficult time, you shouldn’t have to worry about how to make ends meet or cover hospital expenses. With strong legal guidance, your family can focus on helping your loved one work towards recovery.
The law firm you choose makes a difference. Call or email whiplash injury lawyers Stephens & Holman BEFORE you discuss your accident with an ICBC adjuster. You can meet with us for a free, no-obligation consultation and pay us only after you collect!
