Condition
Whiplash
Whiplash can cause lingering pain, headaches and dysfunction long after the initial event. Early, thorough care makes the difference.
Understanding Whiplash
A whiplash injury strains ligaments, joints and discs in the neck — and often causes mild concussion symptoms. Without proper care, chronic neck pain is common.

Headaches
Especially at the base of the skull.
Dizziness or brain fog
