Whiplash & Craniosacral Therapy
Neural manipulation is considered an excellent treatment for whiplash because it targets the root of the problem rather than just addressing the symptoms. Whiplash involves a complex interplay of soft tissue strain, joint dysfunction, and neural irritation, especially affecting the peripheral and central nervous systems. Neural manipulation focuses on releasing restrictions in the nerves and surrounding tissues, helping to restore normal mobility and reduce pain and inflammation.
Unlike more conventional approaches that may primarily aim to manage pain or muscle tension, neural manipulation works by gently mobilizing the nerves themselves, improving their glide and function. This can enhance communication between the nervous system and the rest of the body, promoting better healing. Additionally, this technique often leads to long-lasting relief because it helps rebalance the body’s neuro-mechanical pathways, not just temporarily soothe the injury. It’s also non-invasive and typically well-tolerated, making it a particularly appealing option for patients seeking a more holistic and precise approach to recovery.
