Treatments for Whiplash Injuries
The mildest cases of whiplash injury improve after a few days when treated with rest and aspirin or other over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications.Other measures may be needed if the neck pain is constant and persistent, muscle spasms occur as the head is turned, or pain and spasms spread to the shoulder and upper arm.
Some doctors recommend taking it easy during the first two weeks after an accident, but staying in bed is not necessary.
It is appropriate to take short walks and to go to work for a few hours or more each day, if the job does not put much stress on neck and shoulder muscles.
Sports, carrying heavy groceries, and other physically demanding activities should be avoided.
Soft Cervical Collars
Patients are often advised to wear a soft cervical collar with the low section under the chin so that the high back keeps the neck from bending backward. The collar also takes weight off of the muscles.It should be worn intermittently to reduce dependency and it is especially appropriate for settings where pain is most likely to occur, such as driving or riding in moving vehicles that agitate the neck.
