Whiplash and neck pain are among the most common injuries following car accidents, falls, and sports mishaps — but they can also develop gradually from poor posture or repetitive strain. Left untreated, neck injuries can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. At Peterson Chiropractic, we help patients recover through gentle, effective, non-surgical care.

Common symptoms we treat include:

– Neck stiffness and reduced range of motion

– Sharp or dull pain in the neck, shoulders, or upper back

– Headaches originating from the neck

– Tingling or numbness radiating into the arms or hands

What Causes Whiplash and Neck Pain?

Whiplash occurs when the neck is forced to move rapidly back and forth, straining muscles and ligaments beyond their normal range. Neck pain can also stem from disc issues, joint dysfunction, or muscle tension built up over time.

How We Treat Neck Pain and Whiplash:

– Gentle spinal adjustments to restore proper alignment

– Manual therapy to relieve muscle tension and improve mobility

– Posture and ergonomic guidance to prevent recurrence

– Individualized treatment plans based on your injury and recovery goals

What to Expect During Your Visit:

1. A detailed evaluation of your neck, spine, and range of motion

2. A tailored treatment plan addressing the root cause of your pain

3. Progressive care with adjustments as your symptoms improve
