Whiplash is the common term for a collection of symptoms that may include neck pain/stiffness and loss of neck mobility as well as the possibility of headaches, double vision, jaw pain, ringing in the ears or numbness into the face or upper extremity. Whiplash can be the result of any trauma though it is most commonly associated with motor vehicle collisions. 

​

Even minor whiplash injuries may lead to a variety of symptoms which have the potential to become chronic, especially when not cared for appropriately. Inflammation, muscle spasm, soft tissue adhesion and fibrosis, mechanical joint irritation, nerve irritation and muscle weakness are some of the more common sources of whiplash pain. Our experience is that if any of these factors not appropriately addressed, then the symptoms associated with whiplash may not relent.

​

Chronic whiplash pain is often the end result of a vicious circle that starts with injured soft tissue. This leads to inflammation and muscle spasm, which in turn causes not only nerve irritation and pain but more importantly results in the formation of soft tissue adhesions. These adhesions scar-up the tissue and lead to dysfunctional soft tissues, which are more easily irritated or injured… and the whole cycle continues indefinitely.
