Treat Your Whiplash From Auto Accidents Today!
Whiplash is a common neck injury that often occurs after a car accident, even at low speeds. The sudden back-and-forth motion of the head can strain or tear the ligaments and muscles in the neck, disrupt spinal alignment, and place stress on surrounding areas of the body.
At Inner Health Chiropractic, we help patients across Columbus recover from whiplash and auto accident injuries with personalized treatment plans designed to support healing and restore normal function.
What is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a type of neck sprain that happens when the neck moves forcefully beyond its normal range of motion, most commonly during an auto accident. Even accidents that seem minor can result in underlying injuries that may not immediately show symptoms.
Whiplash commonly affects:
- Muscles and ligaments in the neck
- Spinal alignment
- The shoulders and upper back
- Surrounding nerves and soft tissue
Even if you feel fine immediately after an accident, an evaluation may help identify injuries before they become more serious over time.
Symptoms of Whiplash
- Neck pain or soreness
- Reduced range of motion
- Stiffness in the neck and shoulders
- Muscle tension
- Pain with movement
- Discomfort following an auto accident
What Causes Whiplash?
Whiplash is most commonly caused by the sudden force placed on the body during a motor vehicle accident. This rapid motion can cause damage to muscles, ligaments, and surrounding structures in the neck and upper back.
Auto accidents can lead to:
- Strained or torn muscles and ligaments
- Spinal misalignment
- Pressure on surrounding nerves
- Inflammation and stiffness
How Chiropractic Care Can Help Treat Whiplash
At Inner Health Chiropractic, treatment for whiplash is non-invasive and focused on healing the underlying cause of pain—not just relieving symptoms.
Our approach may include:
- Spinal manipulation to improve alignment and reduce nerve pressure
- Muscle relaxation therapy to improve circulation and reduce stiffness
- Electrical muscle stimulation to activate weakened muscles and support recovery
Each treatment plan is customized based on the severity of the injury and your symptoms to support safe and effective recovery.
