Whiplash – MVA

Acceleration/deceleration syndrome, otherwise known as whiplash, is an injury to the soft tissues when the part of the body undergoes motion in one direction, then immediately undergoes motion in the opposite direction. The structures involved are not able to withstand the amount of force exerted on them and trauma occurs. The neck in an auto accident is primarily injured this way. Scar tissue is deposited in the region and can lead to a long period of time where the neck does not move properly and headaches, nerve irritation, and pain is created. There are varying degrees of whiplash and various means of creating whiplash such as auto accidents, slips, falls etc. Using techniques such as Active Release Techniques® and Graston Technique® it is possible to restore proper motion and function of the soft tissue and heal quickly.

Dr Masters is kind, professional and amazing at what he does. He gets you back on your feet, helps keep you in-line with adjustments and is a wonderful chiropractor. ART is definitely the way to go and I always feel better after seeing him. Diana Jen and all the staff are wonderful.

I've only been here to see Curtis Masters once, but I was really happy with my experience. He's the 4th chiropractor I've seen in a year, and yet he's the first to get the movement I really needed out of my back. His use of ART is a big advantage, where other chiros might just give up and not get the adjustment that's needed. He also really listens, which I haven't found is common. Overall I'm really happy that I found him. For the first time since I can remember, my SI joint doesn't hurt!

Been coming here for 9 years. Dr. Masters and Dr. Pang always take care of me. Early am, late pm. Squeeze times. Diana. Jen. All the staff. Thank you! Oh, and don’t forget to see Angela for a massage.

I have been going to Dr. Masters for 18 years. I don't understand how a Chiropractor could do an adjustment without ART! I honestly would never go to one that doesn't use it. Seems the most logical to me...stretch out the knot first! I get Graston on my wrists sometimes when they are overworked and it is also very useful. Bonus, Dr. Masters has a great personality! Always a fun and effective visit.

Dr. Masters is great, works not only with spinal adjustments but with ART to relax the muscles around the spine and joints. I've been seeing him for a couple years now and have recommended him to many others, who all have reported the same results. I usually only need to see him for a check up every once in awhile if I think something's out of place, not the type who wants to see you in all time for for endless repeated visits. The reception staff are also very friendly and helpful.

Dr. Masters has the uncanny knack of knowing exactly what needs to be adjusted. I'm always amazed at how well I feel after an adjustment. I saw him yesterday for the first time this year and in one treatment he fixed a foot problem I had just developed. I've been seeing him since he opened the clinic in 2005 with excellent pain relief and results. An outstanding, gentle and knowledgeable practitioner - couldn't ask for better!
