It’s important not to rest your neck for prolonged periods if you have whiplash. Your neck may be painful at first, but keeping it mobile will improve its movement and speed up your recovery.

The cars were not damaged. The offending car was uninsured & no information was exchanged.
A week later my symptoms began. I saw a chiropractor for a few months until she said she could no longer treat me for the injury. My pain was constant & did not subside unless i was hanging upside down.
I asked for prayer at my church. Later, when a prayer healing couple visited my church they laid hands on me & my pain was lifted. That was 20 years ago.
Recently i started attending a Qi Ghong class. I was doing fine till they introduced neck stretches. After stretching my ear towards my shoulder plus backwards & chin forward I8 had a week of headach & nausea. I started again, planning to only use small head movements. This also gave me pain but it started the following day.
I would like to try introducing exercise & stretching for my health. What kind of professional can best guide me to a safe & theraputic way for me to do that?

I went to a kinetics-chiropractor for about six weeks and was always better when I left her office but , after 7 months, still suffer from transient pain. I did not have any neck problems before the wreck but every day I now deal with symptoms.

I was in this situation 2 weeks ago. I work with Dave, the other blogger, so I thought he wrote this! Haha – after icing and massage, I was good to go! 😉
