Why Choose Quest Chiropractic for Whiplash Treatment?

• 🟢 Auto accident injury documentation for insurance or legal support

We focus on treating the root of your injury, not just covering up the symptoms.

What Is Whiplash?

Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden back-and-forth motion of the head—similar to the cracking of a whip. This force can overstretch muscles, ligaments, discs, and even nerves in the neck and upper back.

It’s most commonly caused by rear-end car accidents, but can also result from falls, sports collisions, or physical trauma.

Common Symptoms of Whiplash

• Neck pain and stiffness
• Headaches, especially at the base of the skull
• Shoulder or upper back pain
• Dizziness or balance issues
• Tingling or numbness in the arms
• Fatigue or difficulty concentrating
• Limited range of motion
• Jaw tension or TMJ-like symptoms

Important: Symptoms may take hours or days to appear after the injury—making early evaluation critical.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Whiplash

✅ Realigns the Spine After Trauma

Whiplash often causes subtle misalignments that irritate nerves and restrict motion. Chiropractic adjustments restore alignment and promote healing.

✅ Reduces Inflammation and Pain

Red and infrared light therapy reduces swelling and supports tissue repair at the cellular level.

✅ Releases Muscle Tension

Our Deep Muscle Stimulator (DMS) helps relax spasms and restore proper muscle function in the neck and shoulders.

✅ Restores Mobility and Function

We gently restore range of motion while preventing the buildup of scar tissue or long-term dysfunction.

✅ Supports Neurological Recovery

By restoring spinal balance and calming the nervous system, chiropractic care helps relieve symptoms like dizziness, headaches, and fatigue.

Your Whiplash Treatment Plan May Include:

• Chiropractic Adjustments (focused on cervical spine)
• Red & Infrared Light Therapy
• Deep Muscle Stimulator (DMS) Therapy
• Postural Correction and Spinal Rehab
• Movement and Stretching Guidance
• Auto Injury Documentation & Support (if applicable)

We customize every plan to your specific injury, health history, and recovery goals.

What Results Can You Expect?

With proper chiropractic care, many patients experience:

• Reduced pain and muscle tension
• Improved neck range of motion
• Fewer headaches and neurological symptoms
• Faster healing and tissue recovery
• Lower risk of chronic pain or long-term complications

Early treatment matters—don’t wait until symptoms get worse or become permanent.
