Whiplash is a neck injury that can occur after an auto accident, sports injury, or any type of trauma. The symptoms of whiplash can include neck pain, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. If you've been in an accident and are experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to seek treatment from a qualified chiropractor.

Neck pain and stiffness are the most common symptoms of whiplash. Other symptoms often include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.

2. How Is Whiplash Diagnosed?

One of our chiropractors will take a detailed medical history and perform a physical examination. We may also order imaging tests, such as an MRI or x-ray to rule out other potential causes of your symptoms.

3. What Is the Typical Treatment for Whiplash?

The goal of treatment is to relieve your pain and other symptoms and help you regain the full range of motion in your neck. Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and exercises.
