Whiplash recovery requires a holistic approach that not only addresses the physical pain and stiffness but also calms the nervous system and promotes circulation for faster healing. Here’s a step-by-step guide to treating whiplash with the CHI Palm, integrating relaxation techniques to support your recovery:
Step 1: Find a Comfortable Position
Sit or lie down in a position that allows your neck and shoulders to relax completely. Use supportive pillows or a recliner for added comfort.
Set Up Your CHI Palm with the Positioning Stand
Attach the CHI Palm to the magnetic clip on the adjustable stand for hands-free, precise placement. Adjust the stand to target areas like the neck, shoulders, or upper back for optimal comfort and effective treatment.
Step 2: Apply the CHI Palm
Placement: Allow the CHI Palm to rest or hover over the areas of pain or stiffness using the stand. Common areas include the base of the neck, upper shoulders, and along the spine.
Settings: Alternate between the Balance and Acute modes:
Balance calms the nervous system and relaxes tense muscles.
Acute targets deeper pain and inflammation, improving circulation.
Duration: For early stages it is fine to use the CHI Palm up to 24 hours per day. For fastest rate of recovery continue to apply it for 15–20 minutes per area, up to three times a day for as long as you have pain or stiffness. This keeps the body’s healing systems directing resources to the injury site and continues to keep the muscles relaxed.
Step 3: Integrate with Other Therapies
The CHI Palm and positioning stand are versatile and can complement additional treatments:
Heat or Ice Therapy: You can apply the CHI Palm’s soothing signals through a heat or ice pack. Heat promotes circulation. Ice constricts damaged capillaries to reduce bruising. The CHI Palm also promotes circulation and reduces internal bleeding, so after about 45 minutes of initial application of CHI Palm, there is generally no further value to ice packs, so apply CHI Palm with heat or by itself. The CHI Palm, by itself, will accelerate the reduction in bruising.
Massage Therapy: Enhance relaxation by applying the CHI Palm before or after massage sessions.
Meditative Breathing: Deep breathing during treatment helps calm the nervous system further.

Hands-Free Convenience: The magnetic clip and adjustable stand allow for precise placement, letting you relax fully during treatment.
Targeted Relief: Direct the device to hard-to-reach areas, ensuring effective treatment for neck, shoulder, and back pain.
Enhanced Flexibility: The stand’s adjustability makes it easy to switch between different positions and angles.
