Whiplash Injury Treatment Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Best Ways to Treat Whiplash After an Accident?

Effective whiplash treatment starts with confirming the stability of the cervical spine. Once cleared, our Kansas City whiplash chiropractors use a combination of proven therapies to relieve pain and restore function. These include:

  • Chiropractic Adjustments to realign the spine and relieve nerve pressure

  • Soft Tissue Therapies such as manual therapy, massage, and electrical muscle stimulation

  • Targeted Mobility and Strength Exercises to improve range of motion and prevent stiffness

  • At-Home Rehab Plans designed to promote long-term healing and prevent re-injury

Our goal is to provide long-lasting relief so you can return to daily life without neck pain or headaches.

How Long Does It Take for Whiplash to Heal After a Car Accident?

The duration of whiplash symptoms varies based on the severity of the injury. Mild cases may improve within a few chiropractic treatments, while more serious neck strains can take several weeks or longer to resolve. Every patient heals at their own pace, especially after a car accident or personal injury.

Once your initial pain and inflammation improve, your chiropractor will guide you into a rehabilitation phase focused on restoring strength, mobility, and spinal alignment to prevent chronic issues.

How Long Does Whiplash Take to Heal?

Healing time for whiplash depends on the severity of the injury. Some mild cases improve within a few chiropractic sessions, while more serious neck injuries from car accidents may take several weeks or longer. Recovery varies from person to person.

Once the sharp pain and inflammation subside, your whiplash chiropractor will begin a personalized rehab plan to restore neck function and prevent long-term complications.

Can Whiplash Cause Dizziness and Vertigo?

Yes—dizziness after a whiplash injury is common and may result from damage to the upper cervical spine or brainstem. Whiplash isn’t just a neck strain; it can impact the vestibular system or even trigger a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion).

Along with neck pain, headaches, and shoulder pain, up to 50% of whiplash patients report vertigo or a sense of imbalance. If you’re experiencing dizziness after a car accident, it’s essential to get evaluated by a chiropractor experienced in diagnosing both spinal and brain-related symptoms.
