Whiplash Care After a Car Accident
Whiplash often feels mild on day one and much worse on day three. Getting checked early matters.
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by the head snapping quickly back and forth, most often in a rear-end car crash. Stewart Clinic of Chiropractic in Casa Grande evaluates whiplash early, treats it gently at first, and documents findings clearly for insurance and attorneys when a claim is involved.
What to watch
Symptoms to take seriously
- Neck stiffness and pain that showed up a day or two after the crash
- Headaches at the base of the skull
- Pain into the shoulders or between the shoulder blades
- Dizziness, trouble concentrating, or poor sleep
- Numbness or tingling in an arm or hand
Your plan
How treatment progresses
Early care is gentle. Laser therapy, light soft tissue work, and careful range of motion come first while the tissue is still irritated.
As things calm down, treatment adds adjusting, dry needling, and rehab exercise to restore full motion and strength so the neck does not stay stiff for years.
Paperwork
Documentation for your claim
If an insurer or attorney is involved, the office documents your exam findings, treatment, and progress from the first visit forward. See the personal injury and auto accident pages for how that works.
Questions
Common questions
How soon after a crash should I be seen?
As soon as you can. Stewart Clinic of Chiropractic in Casa Grande recommends an evaluation within a few days of the accident, even if pain feels mild, because whiplash symptoms commonly peak two to three days later and early documentation helps any insurance claim.
