Whiplash

Whiplash is a common injury that often happens during car accidents, falls, or sudden impacts. It occurs when your head and neck are rapidly forced forward and backward, placing stress on the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck and upper back.

Even if your accident seemed minor, whiplash symptoms can appear hours or even days later. At Spring Hill Chiropractic, we take whiplash seriously because early, proper care can make a big difference in how well and how fully you recover.

Whiplash happens when the soft tissues and joints in your neck are stretched or strained beyond their normal range. This can lead to inflammation, muscle guarding, and restricted movement.

Common causes include:

• Rear-end car accidents
• Sudden stops or collisions
• Sports injuries or falls
• Slips or sudden jolts to the head and neck
• Muscle strain from rapid acceleration and deceleration

Our focus is on helping your body heal properly and restoring healthy movement — not just managing pain. During your visit, Dr. [Name] will carefully evaluate your neck, spine, and movement patterns and explain what’s happening in clear, simple terms.

Your personalized care plan may include:

• Gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore healthy joint motion and reduce nerve irritation
• Soft tissue therapy to ease muscle guarding and tension
• Targeted movement and rehab exercises to support healing and prevent long-term stiffness
• Education on posture, daily activities, and safe movement during recovery

We aim to help you heal fully and avoid lingering symptoms — without relying on invasive procedures or long-term medications.

• Local, family-focused care for Spring Hill, Thompson’s Station, and Columbia
• Affordable options to support recovery without financial stress
• Same-week appointments when possible after injury
• Clear communication so you understand your injury and recovery plan
• A movement-based approach focused on long-term healing, not just short-term relief

If you’ve been in an accident or experienced a sudden neck injury, don’t wait for symptoms to worsen. Early care can help speed recovery and reduce the risk of long-term problems.
