Condition
Chiropractic After Whiplash
Whiplash from auto accidents is a frequent reason for chiropractic and rehab care.
What to expect
Gradual, gentle care early on, progressing to mobilization and strengthening as symptoms settle.
What the evidence says
Guidelines for whiplash-associated disorders generally favor staying active, along with manual therapy and exercise, over rest and immobilization. Recovery varies widely between individuals.

When to see a physician
Get a medical evaluation for severe pain, numbness, weakness, or any red-flag neurological symptoms after a collision, and before starting care if you have not yet been assessed.
