Request an AppointmentWhat Causes Whiplash?
Whiplash happens when the head is suddenly forced backward and forward, straining the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck. It most often results from rear-end car accidents, but it can also occur during sports, falls, or other trauma. Even low-speed collisions can cause significant injury.
Common Symptoms
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches, often at the base of the skull
- Shoulder and upper back pain
- Dizziness or fatigue
- Numbness or tingling in the arms
- Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
How Our Doctors Diagnose Whiplash
Your care begins with a detailed consultation and a complete chiropractic examination that includes orthopedic, neurological, postural, and range-of-motion testing. When indicated, we take on-site digital X-rays to look for misalignment, degeneration, or other structural problems. Learn more about what happens during your first visit.
Chiropractic Treatment for Whiplash
After a thorough examination and digital X-rays when needed, treatment may include gentle cervical adjustments or the Pro-Adjuster, soft tissue therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and computerized cervical traction. As healing progresses, rehabilitation exercises restore strength and stability to the neck. Every plan is personalized and may combine chiropractic adjustments with our in-office therapies.
Home Care and Prevention
Get examined as soon as possible after an accident, even if you feel fine. Early care reduces the risk of chronic pain and helps document your injuries for insurance purposes. Once your symptoms are under control, wellness care helps keep your body functioning at its best and reduces the chance of future flare-ups.

Whiplash FAQs
How long after an accident can whiplash symptoms appear?
Whiplash symptoms may appear immediately or develop over 24 to 72 hours, and sometimes even later. That is why an exam soon after an accident is important.
Can a chiropractor treat whiplash?
Yes. Chiropractic care is a common, effective treatment for whiplash, combining adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation to restore normal neck function.
Can I get whiplash from a low-speed accident?
Yes. Even low-impact collisions can cause enough force to strain the soft tissues of the neck.
Will my auto insurance cover chiropractic treatment?
Many auto insurance policies cover chiropractic treatment for accident injuries. Our office accepts auto accident and personal injury cases and can help you understand the process.
What happens if whiplash goes untreated?
Untreated whiplash can lead to chronic neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and reduced range of motion.
How long does whiplash take to heal?
Mild cases may improve within a few weeks, while moderate to severe injuries can take several months. Consistent care helps speed recovery.
Should I wait to settle my accident claim?
It is wise not to settle your claim until a qualified doctor has properly examined you, since some injuries take time to fully appear.
