What is Whiplash?

Whiplash occurs when your head is suddenly jerked forward and backward, commonly in rear-end car accidents. This violent motion can damage the soft tissues, muscles, ligaments, and discs in your neck—even at low speeds.

Common Whiplash Symptoms

Neck pain and stiffness
Headaches at base of skull
Dizziness or vertigo
Shoulder and upper back pain
Fatigue and difficulty sleeping
Difficulty concentrating
Blurred vision
Jaw pain (TMJ)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is whiplash?

Whiplash is a neck injury caused by rapid back-and-forth movement of the head, commonly occurring in car accidents. This sudden motion can damage muscles, ligaments, discs, and nerves in the cervical spine.

How long does whiplash take to heal?

With proper treatment, many whiplash cases improve within 6-12 weeks. However, some cases can become chronic if not treated promptly. Early chiropractic intervention leads to faster, more complete recovery.

Can whiplash symptoms appear days later?

Yes, whiplash symptoms often don't appear for 24-72 hours after an accident. This is why getting evaluated promptly is crucial—even if you feel fine initially. Delayed treatment can lead to chronic problems.

Will insurance cover whiplash treatment?

Yes, auto insurance and health insurance typically cover whiplash treatment. We work with all major insurance providers and can help coordinate your benefits. Personal injury protection (PIP) often covers treatment regardless of fault.
