What Is Whiplash?

Whiplash is an extremely painful condition that occurs when the head and neck is forcefully thrust in one direction and then suddenly in another. Several variables determine the severity of a whiplash injury. These factors include the physical condition of the person involved in the accident, age, and the way the body was positioned at the time of the accident. For auto accident injuries, weather conditions also play a role in how severe whiplash injuries can be.

Our Approach To Whiplash Treatment

Once a complete medical history is obtained from the patient, we will order and review x-rays and review them. Treatment plans for whiplash are based on the findings of the examination, x-rays, and information obtained during the history and physical. Treatment plans may include spinal adjustments, ultrasound therapy, muscle stimulation treatments, and heat and cold therapy.
