Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when the head is suddenly jerked forward and backward, typically in car accidents, sports injuries, or falls. This rapid movement strains the muscles, ligaments, and vertebrae in the neck, leading to pain, stiffness, headaches, and sometimes dizziness or blurred vision. Symptoms of whiplash may not appear immediately, but they can worsen over time, affecting the ability to turn the head, focus, or even sleep comfortably. Left untreated, whiplash can lead to chronic pain and restricted mobility, impacting your quality of life. The injury may also cause inflammation and misalignment in the spine, further contributing to discomfort and tension in the shoulders and upper back.

Whiplash Management

Gentle chiropractic spinal adjustments help improve neck mobility, reduce inflammation, and promote healing, while additional therapies may be used to restore muscle balance and strength. If you are dealing with pain from whiplash, chiropractic care can support your recovery and help you regain normal function.
