Chiropractic Treatment for Whiplash and Auto Injuries
In need of care from a whiplash or auto accident injury?
Optilife provides excellent care in Tampa, Fl.
Whiplash injuries occur when the head is jerked quickly back and forth, hyper-extending the muscles and ligaments in the neck. Symptoms may not occur for a few days and are usually mild, but untreated, whiplash injuries can result in long-term pain and spinal injury.
Other auto accident injuries can include the spinal column being jarred out of alignment, which causes mild to severe pain. In addition, injuries such as wrists, shoulders, knees, and ankles are common in auto accidents, falls, and aggressive roller coaster rides.
At Optilife, you are treated like a family member, NOT a number or statistic. Regardless of what attorney you have, you have complete ability to choose where you get treated. call (813) 926-9500

Whiplash and Auto Accident Injury Treatments
In addition to manual spinal manipulations, several therapies are available to reduce inflammation and pain resulting from an auto accident. Optilife staff will help with insurance and auto accident paperwork. We can also refer you to a reliable attorney if needed.
Cold Laser & Physical Therapy
Cold Laser and physical therapy treatments are used as therapeutic options in treating whiplash. Cold Laser treatments help to reduce inflammation and promote the healing process. Physical therapies are used to stretch and strengthen neck muscle which will support proper alignment of the cervical spine area.
Spinal Traction and Decompression Therapy
Spinal traction and decompression therapy are commonly used to reduce pressure on the spine when discs become compressed due to over use or injury. Optilife is equipped with spinal decompression and traction adjustment tables to provide safe and effective traction and decompression therapy for our patients.
Tens Therapy
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulators (TENS). TENS units feature electrodes placed over the painful area of the neck. The patient alerts the theapist how to control the intensity of electrical stimulation based on their level of comfort. The muscle stimulation helps block the transmission of pain signals along the nerves and releases the body’s natural painkillers, endorphins.
This was my 1st time at a chiro and it was just for a stiff neck. X-rays and an adjustment and I am hooked. The staff is so friendly!!! I feel great and thought I would stop coming. I had an ATV accident 2 weeks ago and started back to twice weekly visits and I am feeling wonderful again! Added bonus is Cooper and now baby Goose (dogs).
