I suffered a whiplash injurywhen I fell down the stairs at the weekend and my neck pain has got progressively worse instead of better. I am following all the GP's advice but wondered if a collar would be of any help in the worst moments of pain? I am close to tears atm and haven't been able to hold them back a couple ot times.
RE: Advice please - Whiplash
Hi, I hope you've had some relief by now, but if not, try Cranio-sacral therapy - it's incredibly gentle and also incredibly effective!
I had that after my dog pulled me over and knocked me out on concrete slabs. I was in agony for a couple of weeks, the doctor as ever didn't want to know, never mind give me any advice, so I went looking for a Cranial Osteopath and found a cranio-sacral therapist - he was great! In one treatment the pain almost totally went, and I was able to move and breathe without pain again.
A friend has been for 2 treatments now for a long-standing injury and is seeing big improvements already.
Sadly GPs are totally useless with that sort of thing usually.
