Whiplash Isn’t Just a Car Accident Injury 🚗
When people hear “whiplash,” they often think of motor vehicle accidents - but that’s only part of the story.
Whiplash is a rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck that can happen in many situations, including:
• Slip and falls on ice
• Sports injuries (hockey, soccer, football, skiing, gymnastics)
• Falls down stairs
• Workplace incidents
• Physical altercations
• Sudden jolts on amusement park rides
• Even a hard stop while biking or ATV riding
The symptoms don’t always show up right away. You might feel fine in the moment, only to wake up the next day with:
• Neck pain and stiffness
• Headaches
• Shoulder or upper back pain
• Dizziness
• Reduced range of motion
• Jaw discomfort
Left untreated, whiplash can turn into chronic pain, persistent headaches, and long-term mobility issues.
Early assessment is key.
If you’ve experienced a sudden jolt, fall, or impact - even if it “wasn’t that bad” - it’s important to have it properly evaluated. Our team at Kinesis Health Associates can assess the injury, identify underlying tissue damage, and create a treatment plan to reduce inflammation, restore mobility, and prevent long-term complications.
Don’t wait for the pain to worsen. The sooner you’re assessed, the better the outcome.
