Whiplash Injury Treatment

Understanding Whiplash

Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden back-and-forth motion of the head, commonly from motor-vehicle accidents, sports collisions, or falls. This rapid movement strains the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck, often leading to pain, stiffness, and headaches that can appear hours or even days later.

Early chiropractic care can make a significant difference in your recovery — preventing long-term issues such as chronic neck pain or restricted motion.

Common Symptoms of Whiplash

Neck pain and stiffness
Headaches (often starting at the base of the skull)
Shoulder or upper-back pain
Dizziness or blurred vision
Tingling or numbness in the arms
Fatigue and muscle tightness
Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
If left untreated, these symptoms can worsen over time and lead to ongoing discomfort.

How Chiropractic Care Helps

Dr Vinesh Vaghmaria uses gentle, targeted spinal adjustments, muscle-release techniques, and rehabilitative exercises to realign the neck, reduce inflammation, and restore normal movement. Chiropractic treatment focuses on healing the soft tissues and joints affected by the sudden trauma of whiplash.

Benefits of Chiropractic Treatment for Whiplash:

Faster, natural recovery
Reduced neck pain and stiffness
Improved range of motion
Relief from headaches and muscle tension
Decreased inflammation and nerve irritation
Prevention of chronic post-whiplash pain
