Overview
Understanding whiplash
The sudden force involved in whiplash can strain the muscles, ligaments and joints of the neck. Symptoms range from stiffness and pain to headaches and reduced movement, and they may take time to settle.
Care is guided by assessment and typically emphasises gentle, graded treatment. Chiropractic care and laser therapy may support recovery, alongside advice on movement and activity.

Whiplash questions
It can be worthwhile. Whiplash symptoms sometimes develop or worsen over the days after an injury. An assessment helps gauge the extent of the strain and guides suitable, graded care. If red-flag symptoms are present, we will direct you to appropriate medical care.
The best next step is an assessment. We review your history and examine how you move, then discuss which options — chiropractic care, spinal decompression, laser therapy or a combination — may be appropriate. If care with us is not suitable, we will tell you.
