Whiplash & Head Injuries
Whiplash & Head Injuries
Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs from quick back-and-forth movement
of the neck. Whiplash often occurs in car accidents. Common symptoms of
whiplash include neck stiffness, neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain,
and dizziness. Treatment for whiplash will include manual therapy, dry
needling, cervical joint manipulation, traction, cryotherapy heat
therapy, and corrective exercises including cervical joint position
awareness drills.
Another common cause of a car
accident is a head injury. A head injury results from a blow or jolt to
the head or body. Mild head injury symptoms typically include headaches,
nausea, fatigue, communication problems, and dizziness. Treatment for a
mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) includes a combination of our
strength-building program and vestibular therapy.
