Whiplash: What You Need to Know After a Car Accident

Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when the head is suddenly jerked forward and back—common in rear-end auto collisions. This motion strains muscles, ligaments, and spinal joints, often without immediate symptoms. Delayed pain, stiffness, and headaches may appear days later.

Chiropractic care is a first-line, non-invasive treatment for whiplash. At our clinic, we perform a detailed exam to assess joint motion, soft tissue involvement, and neurological function. Our treatment approach includes gentle adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and progressive rehabilitation to restore normal movement and reduce inflammation.

Timely care is essential—untreated whiplash can lead to chronic neck pain, headaches, and mobility issues.
