Chiropractic Care for Whiplash After a Car Collision

Chiropractic care supports whiplash recovery after a collision by gently restoring neck movement, easing muscle guarding, and guiding a graded return to normal activity — alongside your medical assessment and any accident-benefits claim.

What whiplash is

Whiplash is a neck strain from the rapid back-and-forth motion of a collision, often causing stiffness, headaches and reduced movement that can appear a day or two later.

How chiropractic care helps

Chiropractic care and massage therapy aim to gently restore movement and reduce muscle guarding, with a graded plan back to normal activity.
