DELAYED WHIPLASH PAIN IS COMMON

Two images vertically positioned showing people suffering from whiplash symptoms.

Whiplash is a tricky injury. It rarely starts causing pain until 24 hours after the initial injury. Whether that’s a car accident, a sports injury, a fall, or a roller-coaster ride, the pain often doesn’t come right away. 

But when it does come, it can be excruciating. Severe headaches are common with whiplash injuries, as is agonizing pain whenever you turn your head. 

Unfortunately, many people who don’t seek care have lingering pain for as long as six months. 

QUICK CARE CAN MAKE WHIPLASH PAIN GO AWAY FAST

Studies show that quick care is the best option for most whiplash injuries. But this doesn’t mean covering the symptoms with painkillers or opting for a “wait-and-see” approach.

At Better Health Alaska, we use proven approaches, including physical therapy, massage therapy, and chiropractic care to relieve pain and reduce other symptoms. 

We’ve treated over 4,000 whiplash cases in our 20+ years in Alaska. And with three locations — two in Anchorage and one in Juneau — we make it convenient for you.

LONGER LASTING WHIPLASH RELIEF

An estimated 40% of whiplash injuries result in chronic neck pain or other chronic issues. So while we do focus on getting you out of pain quickly, we also focus on preventing chronic issues.

And we do this by addressing the root of the issue.

This is how we help ensure that the whiplash injury doesn’t leave lingering problems after treatment.

But how exactly do we do it?

We go above and beyond by actually communicating with you.

You’re in on your treatment every step of the way. Our Doctors discuss the cause, treatment, and long-term outlook with you, making sure you understand your whiplash injury.

Because when you understand what’s causing it and how to improve it, you can limit the impacts of it on your daily life.

Plus, we make sure you get the tools to continue the treatment plan at home.

We give you:

  • A whiplash home care kit
  • Home care exercises for long-term relief
  • Helpful tips to keep the pain away for good
  • A full understanding of what caused the issue and the areas affected

We find that communication and an effective, safe, and science-based treatment program are key to long-term relief for our whiplash patients.

And it’s also cost-effective…

Get to know Dr. Brent Wells

Dr. Brent Wells, D.C. founded Better Health Chiropractic & Physical Rehab with his amazing wife Coni in Anchorage in 1998. He received his B.S. from the University of Nevada (where they met), and his doctorate from the Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon. When he isn’t with his family, building his ongoing professional education, or helping folks at the clinic, he’s either doing something community-centered or playing blues/rock guitar.

PATIENT REVIEWS & SUCCESS STORIES

After his treatment at Better Health Chiropractic & Physical Rehab, Dan joked he was able to leap tall buildings, dodge bullets, and balance his checkbook. “In all seriousness though, my overall physical abilities have been restored.” Before seeking help at Better Health, Dan was experiencing extreme pain in his lower back. “I was walking like an 80-year-old. All my activities were restricted.” Having had previous success with the DRS low back pain treatment, Dan knew it worked and came back. In addition to the DRS treatment, Dan received physical therapy and MCU neck pain therapy which completely eradicated his pain. “It was outstanding treatment and had highly professional and personable care. DRS has worked for me twice now.”

– Dan R

After her car accident, Mary Jane was in pain every day. She couldn’t sit for very long before her lower back would go numb. Her neck hurt while reading and she got headaches when using the computer, something which impacted her work performance. She even had to turn her entire body to check her side mirror while driving because turning her head was simply too painful. After a month of living in pain and trying to minimize it with painkillers, Mary Jane found Better Health Chiropractic & Physical Rehab. After a treatment course including chiropractic care, rehabilitative therapy, and massage therapy, Mary Jane was well on her way to recovery. Her posture improved, she could read without pain, and her headaches had decreased significantly. Best of all, she could finally turn her head painlessly again while driving. “I believe in chiropractic care more than ever. It helped me and it will help you, too. Better Health offers excellent care you can feel.”

– Marry Jane

Stephanie was suffering from numbness and shooting pain in her arm. She even had neck pain which was causing debilitating migraines and headaches. In addition to all of this, Stephanie had to deal with sharp shooting pain in her lower back. “I tried not to let it keep me from my hobbies or daily activities, but I guess it did. I did not swim as much and I had trouble sleeping. I did not read as often due to headaches and stiffness.” Stephanie had tried medications and had seen a chiropractor in the past, but hadn’t gotten the relief she was seeking until she came to Better Health Chiropractic & Physical Rehab. Her treatment plan (which blended chiropractic care, physical therapy, and massage therapy) gave her significant pain relief and also helped her improve her long-term health so she could avoid surgery and other invasive treatments. “The Better Health staff was excellent in providing total care. They were flexible with my schedule and I was able to get in and out when needed. I even enjoyed and looked forward to most of my visits!”

– Stephanie Foote

Vicki was in constant agony. She suffered from pain radiating throughout her legs, lower back, and neck. To relieve it, Vicki tried to medicate herself with painkillers every four hours. “I wasn’t able to sit long, I couldn’t hike more than a quarter-mile, and I couldn’t stand on both feet at the same time. I was in pain!” Her father and brother both had surgery in the past, but Vicki believed chiropractic care could help her avoid it. When her daughter recommended Better Health Chiropractic & Physical Rehab, Vicki made an appointment. At Better Health, Vicki received chiropractic care, rehabilitative therapy, and the DRS low back pain treatment and was pleased with the results. “I have never used the DRS before, but I ended up looking forward to the treatments which made working possible. I have lost a few pounds because of being able to move and therefore feel better. I am able to hike more often and go on bike rides. When I feel discomfort, I know how to move and stretch to make my body work better.” Vicki also claims the staff was a joy to be around – “They were very gentle, encouraging, and positive.”

– Vicki Workman

Casey had lived with her low and mid-back pain for 15 years. Pain management injections hadn’t worked and physical therapy alone hadn’t offered lasting results. Besides this, a disctrode procedure didn’t provide relief. Despite all of these treatments, she still couldn’t walk her dog and had to learn to operate her sewing machine with her left foot. She couldn’t sit or stand for more than 10 minutes without experiencing pain and she avoided driving and climbing stairs unless she absolutely had to. Her life finally began to change after she sought help at Better Health Chiropractic & Physical Rehab. Her treatment plan, which incorporated chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy, and the DRS low back pain treatment, brought Casey pain relief and many other benefits. The stay-at-home mom said her energy level increased, her posture and appearance improved, and she can do things she wasn’t able to before. “There are many options one can choose from at Better Health. The staff seemed concerned about the health of individuals and they are willing to change treatments if needed.”

– Casey Youngberg

Injections, traction, medication – none of it worked. For five years, William had experienced pain in his lower back, abdomen, and knees. It kept him from sitting or standing comfortably and he was sometimes reduced to simply lying on his stomach. It wasn’t until William came to Better Health Chiropractic & Physical Rehab that he found a solution that actually worked. The Better Health staff developed a multi-disciplinary treatment plan for William that incorporated chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy, and the DRS low back pain treatment. “Slowly and steadily I was able to return to my normal daily activities as if I was never hurt.” Today, William enjoys improved mobility and abdominal strength, as well as superb long-term health. He said Better Health also helped him avoid surgery, prevent reinjury, and allowed him to continue working. “I like Better Health’s full-on, multi-faceted plan to recovery and their approach to overall health.”

Charlotte had been living with low back pain since her first child was born 24 years ago. But it was the additional pain she experienced after a car accident that finally brought her to Better Health Chiropractic & Physical Rehab. “Before I came to Better Health, I couldn’t play on the floor with my four-year-old or even do yard work. Standing hurt my lower back and sleeping was hard. I woke up at least three times a night with back pain.” That all changed with the chiropractic care, physical therapy, and massage therapy Charlotte received at Better Health. After her treatment, Charlotte said she had made a 100% recovery. She also found that the care improved her long-term health, helped her avoid invasive treatments, prevented reinjury, allowed her to continue working, and saved her money. “I was very afraid to have my neck and back ‘popped’, but it worked so well. I should have come years ago. I tell everyone about Better Health.”

– Charlotte

Julie came into Better Health Chiropractic & Physical Rehab with severe neck pain. She left her treatment with more confidence and a significant improvement in how she felt. Julie’s injuries stemmed from a car accident and her pain had been keeping her from sitting comfortably, driving safely, and playing with her daughter. The staff at Better Health was able to help by implementing a multidisciplinary treatment plan of chiropractic care, rehabilitative therapy, and massage therapy. Afterward, Julie declared her posture and long-term health improved and she felt 100% better. “I am very pleased with the care and treatment I have received.”

– Julie Counter

Josh had been seeking help at another chiropractic facility for his hip and low back pain, but just wasn’t getting the results he was looking for. “A significant difference in the care that I was provided with at Better Health compared to the other chiropractic center, I believe, had to do with the time staff members took to listen to my concerns and feedback.” For about 10 months, Josh had experienced pain in his hips and lower back making it hard for him to enjoy his hobbies and to do basic daily activities. After receiving chiropractic care, rehabilitative therapy, and the DRS low back treatment at Better Health, Josh said it made a 100% improvement. “They provided me with long-term activities to complete that will help me regulate my own pain and wellness. The staff at Better Health treated me very well throughout my treatment. The staff members listened and adjusted my treatment based on my feedback and progress. I have recommended Better Health to close friends and co-workers.”
