This patient came to me with sharp neck pain after a fall and unable to turn her neck after a “whiplash” injury from a fall. As you can see from first picture she had significant swelling at cervical spine and spasm at the upper traps. After clearing that she had no radicular symptoms I was able to reduce her swelling with ultrasound, Myofascial manual techniques and dry needling to both cervical spine and upper traps.
Post-treatment you see the reduction in swelling and she reported a reduction in pain and increased range of motion with cervical rotation. Her follow up includes cervical stretches and scapular stabilization exercises. If you are experiencing neck pain or non-resolving swelling contact Sasha N. Torres, DPT, CCE today and get started on getting back on track ✊🏽
