Whiplash is such a common injury, yet people are still surprised when it happens to them. So many clients come to us saying, “I’m not a complainer, and I don’t understand why, but my neck still hurts. And I am having headaches. The pain that started in my neck is now in my back. I thought this would all go away.” Whiplash is a particularly difficult injury because of this—people think they can just wish it away. In fact, medical treatment can substantially improve recovery from this injury and strengthen the body so that the effects of the injury are reduced.

Whiplash injuries are often confined to injuries to soft tissues surrounding the spine, but can also cause brain injuries such as concussions and other head injuries, spinal fractures, clavicle fractures, back injury, and jaw injury.
