Whiplash

We understand that whiplash can be a painful and disruptive injury, often resulting from motor vehicle accidents or sudden impacts. Our dedicated team is here to help you navigate your recovery and manage your symptoms effectively.

Understanding Whiplash

Whiplash is an injury to the neck caused by a rapid back-and-forth motion, similar to the motion of a whip. This injury can affect the muscles, ligaments, and nerves in the neck, leading to pain and reduced mobility.

Common Causes of Whiplash

Whiplash is most commonly associated with:

  • Motor Vehicle Accidents: Rear-end collisions are the most frequent cause.
  • Sports Injuries: Contact sports can result in similar neck movements.
  • Falls or Trauma: Sudden impacts from falls can also lead to whiplash injuries.

Symptoms of Whiplash

Symptoms can vary in severity and may include:

  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Headaches, often starting at the base of the skull
  • Pain that radiates to the shoulders or arms
  • Tingling or numbness in the arms
  • Dizziness or fatigue

Comprehensive Assessment

To effectively manage whiplash, we begin with a thorough assessment that may include:

  • Medical History Review: Discussing your symptoms, accident details, and any previous neck injuries.
  • Physical Examination: Evaluating neck mobility, pain levels, and any associated symptoms.
  • Functional Assessment: Observing how whiplash affects your daily activities and movements.
