Cervical Whiplash refers to all traumas that involve forward or backward impacts on the cervical region. These are generally caused by car accidents, whether from a frontal or lateral collision, and/or other high-impact accidents, leading to ligament tears in the cervical vertebrae.
What Benefits Does Craniosacral Therapy Provide for Cervical Whiplash Cases?
Undoubtedly, the benefits are numerous. Considering that upon impact, many kilos of force are absorbed by the neck, cervical whiplash damages the tissues in the area and can later travel through the fascial system to any part of the body.
Many people who have unfortunately suffered from cervical whiplash often undergo rehabilitation sessions and initially experience improvement. However, after some time, they tend to feel discomfort again in the same affected area or in another seemingly unrelated part of the body. At that point, they are treated with painkillers, but their condition does not fully improve because the root problem lies at a deeper level.
Craniosacral Therapy works directly on this deeper level—the tissue memory within the three-dimensional network of fascia that envelops all body structures. One fascinating characteristic of the fascial system is its ability to glide, but this function is completely lost when impacted by trauma of this nature. Craniosacral Therapy gently stimulates the tissue, allowing this process to be restored in a respectful and non-invasive manner.
