Monday Morning Health Tip – Whiplash and Jaw Problems

Whiplash and Jaw Problems


A crucial tenet of chiropractic is that the body works as a whole and should be treated as such, not as a series of isolated parts.  Doctors of chiropractic, like Dr. Smith, understand that dysfunction in one area of the body will affect function in other areas.  The relationship between whiplash injury and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a clear example of this premise.

Many people don’t realize that sustaining a whiplash injury can affect more that the neck — and that the injury can be long-lasting.  Any accident, even a minor fender bender, may trigger serious conditions.  Vertebral subluxations are areas in the spine where movement is restricted or vertebrae are slightly out of place.

Whiplash injury frequently causes vertebral subluxations, which can, in turn, lead to temporomandibular (or jaw) issues.  Dr. Smith uses gentle maneuvers called chiropractic adjustments to remove vertebral subluxations. Dr. Barbara Smith
