Whiplash & Neck Pain
Don’t Ignore the Most Common — and Most Misunderstood — Auto Injury
You may have walked away from your car accident thinking, “It’s just a little stiffness.” But that stiffness, soreness, or ache in your neck could be a sign of whiplash — one of the most common injuries in motor vehicle collisions, and one of the most likely to cause long-term complications if left untreated.
At CARS Medical, we specialize in diagnosing and treating post-accident neck injuries with precision, compassion, and evidence-based care. Whether you’re already feeling limited or the symptoms are just beginning, we can help.
What Is Whiplash
Whiplash is a soft tissue injury caused by the rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck during a sudden impact — like a rear-end collision. This motion can
- Strain or tear neck muscles and ligaments
- Disrupt spinal alignment
- Irritate or compress nerves
- Limit mobility and function
Symptoms may appear immediately or take days to show up, and can include
- Neck pain or stiffness
- Headaches (especially at the base of the skull)
- Dizziness or nausea
- Fatigue or irritability
- Pain between the shoulders
- Difficulty turning or tilting the head
Why Prompt, Specialized Treatment Matters
Whiplash may sound minor — but if untreated, it can lead to:
- Chronic neck and upper back pain
- Reduced range of motion
- Nerve impingement
- Headaches or migraines
- Degenerative joint problems
Our Treatment Approach
Your care begins with a full Medical Evaluation, which may include X-rays or orthopedic testing.
Based on your findings, your treatment plan may include
Chiropractic Care for spinal realignment and motion restoration
Physical Therapy to rebuild strength and flexibility
Laser Therapy to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing
Cryotherapy to manage pain and swelling
IV Therapy or Red Light Therapy for systemic healing
Mental health support if symptoms are impacting sleep, focus, or emotional well-being

- Time-stamped exam findings
- Diagnostic imaging results
- Treatment notes and progress reports
- Organized documentation for your attorney
