What is Whiplash?

Whiplash is a term that describes an injury to the neck that typically occurs as a result of a car accident, but the injury can also result from a sports accident, physical abuse or other trauma. Whiplash injuries can be quite complex and may include a variety of related problems, such as joint dysfunction, disc herniation, and chronic pain. Because Dr. Michael Minett, DC specializes in soft and hard tissue problems, it is recommended that you visit Total Health & Rehab to get a full examination.  


Common signs and symptoms of whiplash include neck pain, stiffness, and headaches. Patients who experience this condition may recover within a few months of chiropractic treatment. It is important to visit us for a prompt and accurate diagnosis to rule out fractures or other tissue damage that may be contributing to symptoms. The appropriate chiropractic treatment is unique to each whiplash injury and is directed at the primary dysfunctions detected during the chiropractic exam.


If you’ve recently been injured in an auto accident, please give us a call to discuss your treatment options.
