Unity Physician Services Now Offers Whiplash Treatment in Mesa

Tempe, Arizona -

Unity Physician Services, based in Tempe, Arizona, has announced that they are now offering whiplash treatment in Mesa and across the Phoenix metropolitan area. This particular treatment is for those who have recently been in an auto accident or have been suffering from back or neck pain. The clinicians in the pain clinic will assess the extent of the injury and establish an action blueprint for the recovery process for each particular patient. They point out that most patients with whiplash are able to fully recover as long as the appropriate care is provided early on in the process.

Dr. Thomas Morgan from Unity Physician Services says, “We’re excited to announce that we are now able to offer our whiplash treatment services in Mesa, Arizona, and across the Phoenix metropolitan area. A car accident chiropractor in Mesa will be especially useful in helping you devise a plan to help stop the pain. Chiropractors will generally begin with an intake process that will include a full review of your medical history.”

He continues, “Even if your injury is relatively recent, there may be aggravating factors that stem from an earlier incident. When chiropractors have access to your full medical history, they’ll be better able to help you find an appropriate treatment plan. Muscles that have been strained two or three times over a period of years may become less limber and could require heavier treatment.”

Before starting the provision of pain therapy in Mesa, a standard examination will be performed to allow physicians to assess if the diagnosis is correct. In the general exam, the examining physician will touch the head, neck, and arms to find out if there are any areas of acute or sharp pain even with a light pressure. Simple mobility exercises may be used to determine those areas that are giving the patient the most trouble. If there are areas of very sharp pain, further examination and possibly some laboratory tests may need to be done.

As a possible home remedy at the start, an ice pack may be used on the affected area to minimize the swelling and to prevent the inflammation from affecting the surrounding tissue. Heat may also be used instead of ice. Heating pads can be placed on injured muscles to enhance flexibility. Heat may also help before and after doing physical exercises. For those who are suffering from very stiff necks, brief use of heat pads can reduce the discomfort and provide patients with a better chance of moving around the house while they are still in the early stages of recovery.

Meanwhile, Unity Physician Services offers a number of natural treatment alternatives for neck, back and other chronic pain. These include trigger point injections, chiropractic therapy, physical medicine modalities, epidurals, medial branch blocks, low dose steroid injections, nerve blocks, and more.

Trigger points can develop when a muscle has been injured or overworked, resulting in a little knot of muscle that causes pain in that general area. These can also result into referred pain that is linked to various areas of he body because the trigger point is sitting on or near a nerve. At Unity Physician Services, a physician may perform a trigger point injection, which is usually a safe low-dose steroid plus local anesthetic.

Chiropractic therapy may also be used to reduce pain, inflammation, and damage to the musculoskeletal system. This kind of therapy is often used for upper back pain, lower back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, knee pain, hip pain, sciatic pain, and bulging/herniated disc. This type of therapy is based on balancing the spine to stabilize the neighboring groups and joints. With an aligned spine and balanced body, the body’s ability to heal itself naturally is restored and the effectiveness of the nervous system is enhanced. Chiropractic adjustment is specifically aimed at realigning the position of the spine, while pressure release methods are used to ease the pressure between the discs.
