Whiplash
Understanding Whiplash
Whiplash occurs when the head and neck move rapidly back and forth, commonly after auto accidents, sports impacts, or sudden falls. This can strain muscles, ligaments, and joints in the neck, leading to neck pain, back pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and jaw tension.
Common causes include rear-end collisions, sudden stops, contact sports, or slips and falls.
Why Early Care Helps
Symptoms can appear hours or days after an injury. A prompt evaluation helps identify hidden restrictions and supports a smoother recovery.
Recovery Goals
- Reduce pain and muscle guarding
- Restore neck and upper-back mobility
- Improve sleep and daily comfort
- Support a steady return to activity
Our Approach
Gentle, Targeted Recovery
We assess cervical alignment, cranial mobility, and soft tissue tension to understand how the injury is affecting your body. Gentle spinal and cranial adjustments help reduce strain, improve motion, and support natural healing.
We also review posture, work habits, and daily movement patterns so your recovery plan supports real-life demands and helps prevent recurring flare-ups.
CFR can further ease pressure in the cranial system, supporting better nerve function and calmer head and neck mechanics after sudden trauma.
