Whiplash is a common neck injury, often caused by sudden acceleration-deceleration forces—most frequently in car accidents, sports, or falls. While many people associate whiplash with temporary soreness, untreated or severe cases can lead to chronic neck pain, headaches, and reduced mobility. At iSCORE Inc, Dr. Maxim Moradian offers a comprehensive approach to whiplash treatment, combining traditional therapies with advanced regenerative options for lasting relief.

Understanding Whiplash

Whiplash occurs when the neck is forcefully jerked backward and then forward, stretching or straining muscles, ligaments, and soft tissues. Symptoms can vary but often include:

Neck pain and stiffness

Headaches or migraines

Shoulder or upper back pain

Reduced range of motion

Tingling or numbness in the arms (in severe cases)

Early evaluation is crucial to prevent complications and ensure proper healing.

Traditional Treatment Options

Conservative approaches remain a cornerstone of whiplash management and may include:

Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises strengthen neck muscles, improve posture, and restore range of motion.

Pain Management: Medications such as NSAIDs or muscle relaxants help reduce inflammation and discomfort.

Manual Therapy: Chiropractic adjustments or massage therapy can relieve tension and support alignment.

Supportive Devices: Neck collars or braces may provide temporary stability in the early stages of recovery.

These methods can be highly effective, especially when combined with patient education and home exercises.

Regenerative Therapy Options

For patients with persistent pain or soft tissue damage, regenerative medicine offers innovative solutions that promote natural healing:

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Concentrated growth factors from your blood are injected into injured tissues to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation.

Stem Cell Therapy: Using bone marrow or amniotic-derived stem cells, this therapy can help repair damaged ligaments, tendons, and soft tissues.

Targeted Injections: Peripheral nerve or trigger point injections reduce pain and support recovery when conservative therapies aren’t enough.

These minimally invasive treatments aim to restore function, reduce long-term discomfort, and help patients return to normal activities faster.
