Cervical Facet Injections for Whiplash

Treatment for Whiplash – Cervical Facet Injections:

• A large clucky cervical collar or brace has been the conservative treatment option to alleviate the symptoms of whiplash.

• “These braces limit movement, takes load off the neck to enable healing. The patient will have to wear the brace for 3-4 weeks during which they need to re-learn how to handle regular activities with the brace”, says spine surgeon Mr Jwalant S Mehta.

• While the brace does help, it can be cumbersome for many people looking for swift recovery without limiting their daily activity.

• Fortunately facet injections can help treat whiplash today by reducing the pain it triggers.
