Chiropractic Care for Whiplash Injuries

At The Bridge Chiropractic in Clairemont, our Chiropractic Clairemont practice specializes in treating whiplash as part of our comprehensive auto accident chiropractic care. Whiplash—the rapid back-and-forth motion of the neck—can strain cervical muscles and ligaments, often leading to pain, stiffness, and headaches Clairemont residents know all too well. Early intervention with chiropractic adjustments and supportive therapies helps you recover more quickly and prevent chronic issues.


What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash, also called cervical acceleration-deceleration injury, most commonly results from rear-end collisions or sudden impact. Typical symptoms include:

  • Neck pain and stiffness

  • Radiating headaches

  • Shoulder and upper-back tension

  • Dizziness or lightheadedness

  • Tingling or numbness in the arms


How Chiropractic Adjustments Help
Chiropractic adjustments gently restore proper alignment and movement in the cervical spine, relieving pressure on irritated nerves and reducing muscle spasms. By correcting joint mechanics, we can:

  • Decrease inflammation and improve circulation

  • Restore normal range of motion in the neck

  • Alleviate secondary symptoms like headaches and arm tingling

  • Promote natural healing without drugs or surgery


Supportive Therapies
To enhance your recovery, we often combine adjustments with:

  • Therapeutic Ultrasound to reduce deep-tissue inflammation

  • Electric Stimulation to calm painful muscle spasms

  • Rehabilitative Exercises that strengthen neck stabilizers and improve posture

  • Soft-Tissue Mobilization to break up adhesions and restore flexibility


What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your first visit begins with a thorough assessment of posture, spinal alignment, and neurological function. Based on your presentation, we’ll develop a personalized plan that includes focused cervical adjustments and adjunctive therapies. As you progress, we’ll track your pain levels, flexibility, and strength to ensure steady improvements.
