Get EvaluatedA proper exam helps identify injuries you might not feel yet. X-rays are used when clinically appropriate. -
Start the Right Conservative CareGuidelines emphasize movement, appropriate care, and active recovery.
Whiplash Is Not Just “Neck Pain.”
It’s a Movement, Muscle, Joint & Nerve Stress Problem.
A collision can rapidly force the neck and spine through motion they weren’t prepared for. That can irritate joints, strain muscles and ligaments, tighten fascia, inflame soft tissue, and change how your body moves afterward.
Left untreated, whiplash can result in spinal degeneration, a loss in the curve causing inflammation and chronic pain.
The goal is not just to numb pain.
The goal is to restore function and help your body heal.

Get DirectionsFrequently Asked Questions
Can you have whiplash after a minor accident?
Yes. Even low-speed collisions can irritate the neck, shoulders, upper back, soft tissues, joints, or nerves.
Should I get checked if symptoms started later?
Yes. Delayed symptoms are common after the adrenaline response wears off, especially with neck stiffness, headaches, dizziness, or tingling.
Do you take X-rays for whiplash?
X-rays are used when clinically appropriate based on your history, symptoms, exam findings, and safety screening.
Do you handle MedPay, PIP or LOP cases?
The office can discuss MedPay, PIP, LOP, and attorney-supported options during scheduling and intake.
Is this different from general post-accident care?
Whiplash care focuses on neck-related accident symptoms. For broader injury information, visit our general post-accident care page.
Does booking obligate me to start care?
No. Booking an exam gives you a chance to understand what may be happening and review your options.
