About
What whiplash care covers after a neck injury
Whiplash care focuses on symptoms that follow a sudden head and neck movement. These symptoms may include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, shoulder tension, and changes in daily movement. We begin with a new patient intake, health history, and exam. The visit helps us understand the injury, current symptoms, posture, and movement limits. X-rays may be considered if clinically indicated. Care may include personalized chiropractic adjustments, posture correction, lifestyle guidance, or soft tissue therapy. Individual response differs, so we review progress and adjust the plan when needed. Cost depends on the assessment, services selected, and care needs identified during the visit. Our Free Consultations give you a chance to discuss those factors before treatment. We don't add a price here because each plan is based on the patient and clinical findings.

Care may include personalized chiropractic adjustments, posture correction, or soft tissue therapy when appropriate. Our team explains the plan before care begins, and individual response differs.
What happens during the first visit after whiplash?
The first visit includes a new patient intake, health history, and exam. We ask about the injury and check posture, neck movement, and related symptoms. X-rays may be considered if clinically indicated. After the assessment, we explain the findings and discuss care options that fit your needs.
What changes the cost of whiplash care?
The assessment, selected treatments, and individual care needs influence the cost of whiplash care. A plan involving adjustments alone differs from one that also includes posture correction or soft tissue therapy. Our Free Consultations let you discuss your situation before treatment, and we explain the recommended services.
Can insurance cover care after an auto accident?
Insurance coverage depends on your plan, the injury, and the treatment rules that apply. We can discuss the information needed to review your care questions. Bring relevant insurance or accident documents if you have them. We’ll explain the planned services before care begins.
Do I need a referral before this treatment?
A referral is not stated as a requirement for requesting our whiplash care. Contact us to discuss your symptoms and appointment needs. Bring medical records or imaging information if you already have them. Our team will complete a health history and exam before discussing a treatment plan.
Should I choose adjustments or spinal decompression?
The assessment determines whether personalized adjustments or spinal decompression fits your neck or back concern. Spinal decompression is used for appropriate back and neck concerns, while adjustments are tailored to individual needs. We explain the difference after reviewing your symptoms, movement, and health history.
When should I request care after whiplash?
Request an assessment when neck pain, stiffness, headaches, or movement changes continue after an injury. Early details help us understand the injury and current symptoms. Severe or changing symptoms require medical attention, and our team can discuss whether chiropractic care fits your situation.
