Whiplash Treatment in Littleton, CO
Care for the neck and upper back after the sudden back-and-forth motion of a collision.
OVERVIEW
What whiplash does to the neck
Whiplash happens when the head is thrown forward and back faster than the neck muscles can brace. Muscles, ligaments, and joints in the neck and upper back can be strained or sprained, even in low-speed collisions.
Treatment focuses on calming irritated tissue, restoring motion, and rebuilding the strength that keeps the neck stable, so pain is less likely to linger.
Signs to watch for
- Neck pain or stiffness
- Headaches starting at the base of the skull
- Pain between the shoulder blades
- Dizziness or fatigue
- Pain that worsens with movement
