The Latest Research For Whiplash Injuries
Richard Iveson, The Iveson Clinic’s Chiropractor, has recently attended a conference on the most up-to-date thoughts and research on whiplash injuries.
Current thinking is that the efficacy of treating whiplash with traditional, hands-on treatments, using mobilisations and muscle relaxing techniques, could be enhanced by also looking at psychological factors.

This causes a mild to moderate pain that spreads across the entire head in a sort of band, different from migraines which are usually felt on one side or the other.
