A member asked:
Is it better to treat a whip lash with a chiropractor or pain medication from a regular doctor?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Whip Lash: The ideal physician to treat whip lash is an osteopathic physician who performs cervical manipulation. They can do manual manipulation on your neck and prescribe pain medications and muscle relaxers if necessary.
