Car Accident and Whiplash Recovery

Whiplash injuries associated with motor vehicle accidents can occur at speeds as little as 12 mph, and symptoms of whiplash may not arise until days or weeks after the initial injury. If you were involved in a motor vehicle accident, allow our chiropractors and therapists to perform a comprehensive evaluation to decide whether rehabilitation or consultation with another health care provider is necessary.

Contact us today to learn more about our car accident and whiplash recovery treatments or book a consultation at one of South Florida clinics by calling us or filling out the form on this page.

What Is Car Accident and Whiplash Recovery?

Whiplash is a neck injury that can occur due to a car accident or other traumatic events. Whiplash symptoms may not appear immediately after the accident but can develop over the following days or weeks. Common symptoms of whiplash include referred shoulder girdle or upper extremity pain ,dizziness, nausea, headache, confusion, concentration and/or memory difficulties, and hypersensitivity to sound, smell, and/or light.

If you have been involved in a car accident, it is important to seek medical attention even if you do not feel any immediate pain or discomfort. If you have been involved in an accident, our team of chiropractors and therapists will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether you require rehabilitation to recover from whiplash and car accident injuries.
