Chiropractic Care for Whiplash After Car Accidents
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries after a car accident, and it can lead to lasting pain, stiffness, dizziness, headaches, and even cognitive changes if left untreated. At Unity Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Beaverton, we specialize in helping personal injury (PI) patients recover from whiplash through advanced chiropractic and neurological care.
What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash occurs when the head and neck are suddenly forced backward and forward, as often happens in a rear-end collision. This rapid movement strains muscles, ligaments, and joints in the neck and upper back, while also affecting the nervous system and balance centers of the brain.
Common Symptoms of Whiplash
Neck pain and stiffness
Headaches (often starting at the base of the skull)
Dizziness and balance problems
Shoulder and upper back pain
Difficulty concentrating or “brain fog”
Jaw discomfort (TMJ issues)
Sometimes symptoms don’t appear until days or weeks after the accident, which makes early evaluation essential for PI patients.
Our Comprehensive Approach to Whiplash Recovery
At Unity Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we combine chiropractic care with neurological rehabilitation to address both the physical and functional impacts of whiplash:
Chiropractic Adjustments & SOT (Sacro Occipital Technique): Gentle adjustments to restore alignment, reduce pain, and support nervous system balance.
Functional Neurology: Exercises to retrain the brain and nervous system, addressing issues like concentration, memory, and reflexes affected after trauma.
Vestibular Rehabilitation: Targeted care for dizziness, vertigo, and balance disturbances that often follow whiplash.
Eye Movement Therapy: Helping restore focus, coordination, and visual tracking impacted by head and neck injuries.
Craniosacral Therapy: Gentle techniques to release tension and support healing from head and neck trauma.
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): Non-invasive treatment to reduce inflammation, support tissue healing, and accelerate recovery.
