Whiplash

Whiplash occurs when the head and neck are rapidly forced backward and forward, often during a motor vehicle collision or other sudden impact.

Neck pain and stiffness are common, but whiplash can also be associated with headaches, dizziness, balance problems, visual sensitivity, fatigue, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating.

The neck provides the brain with important information about head and body position, so changes in cervical movement can affect more than the neck itself.

We begin with your injury history and a comprehensive neurological and structural evaluation.

We may assess cervical movement, posture, eye movements, balance, coordination, sensory processing, and motor function.

Your treatment plan is based on what we find and may include neurological rehabilitation, structural care, movement exercises, sensory and motor activities, and home strategies.

After a car accident or other injury, you may expect the pain to resolve within a few days or weeks. Sometimes it doesn't.

Persistent symptoms can affect your work, sleep, exercise, and confidence in your movement.

At Delta Neuro Health, we look at both the structural and neurological sides of the injury to understand how your systems are working together today. We work together with other providers after accidents to best support any given patient through their journey.

Frequently asked questions

What are common symptoms of whiplash?

Neck pain and stiffness are common, but symptoms can also include headaches, dizziness, balance problems, visual sensitivity, fatigue, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating.

Can whiplash cause dizziness or headaches?

Yes. Whiplash can affect the structures and sensory systems involved in head and neck movement, and some people experience dizziness or headaches afterward.

Can whiplash affect the brain?

A whiplash injury primarily involves rapid movement of the head and neck, but the resulting changes can sometimes be associated with neurological symptoms such as dizziness, visual sensitivity, or difficulty concentrating.

How do you evaluate whiplash?

We look at both neurological and structural function, including cervical movement, posture, eye movements, balance, coordination, sensory processing, and motor function.

Can you help with an old whiplash injury?

Yes. If symptoms have continued after an older injury, we can evaluate your current neurological and structural function to determine whether our approach may be appropriate.

Do I need to see a medical doctor after whiplash?

Medical evaluation may be important after an injury, particularly when symptoms are new, severe, or worsening. Our care can complement appropriate medical management.
