There are many so-called alternative therapies for whiplash injury victims to try and, although the personal injury solicitors at YouClaim do not advocate any of these treatments, we are always interested to read the accounts of sufferers who have received relief from the debilitating effects of a soft tissue neck injury such as whiplash.
In 1999, a 36-year-old factory worker from China suffered a severe whiplash injury after being involved in a significant car accident. After being knocked unconscious at the scene he woke up almost paralysed and suffering from incontinence caused by severe trauma to the soft tissues of his spinal cord.
Two months later the worker commenced treatment with Dr Hu Jinjiang, a professor of medicine affiliated to the Chinese Air Command in Beijing.Dr Jinjiang practices a therapeutic massage called tuina, used in the traditional Chinese Medicine, Wang Jing.
Also known as push and grab the massage involves kneading, rolling, pressing and pinching and is used to treat problems of the cervical vertebrae, slipped discs, abnormal curvature of the spine and frozen shoulder, as well as injury to bone and soft tissue such as whiplash.
The massage practitioner believes a basic theory that the ligament holding the spine is loose on the inside and tense on the outside thus making the spinal cord susceptible to shifting out of place in the event of sudden jarring such as sudden impact from a car accident. The therapy involves a unique set of hand techniques to correct imbalances of the ligament.
After a week of tuina massage the severe whiplash victim could sit up, after six weeks he was able to walk unaided, and after a few more months his incontinence had ended and he was able to fully care for himself again.
Dr Jinjiang says of the therapy, "I have drawn inspiration from tai chi, and my set of hand techniques are based on tai chi and my knowledge of anatomy."
