How our chiropractic care helps treat whiplash.
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden force that rapidly moves the head forwards and backwards, placing strain on the muscles, ligaments and joints of the neck. While symptoms may appear immediately, it’s common for pain and stiffness to develop over the following hours or days. Many people also experience headaches, shoulder pain and reduced movement as a result of the injury.
Chiropractic care is a safe, effective and non-invasive way to support recovery from whiplash. Following a thorough assessment, our chiropractors use gentle, precise techniques to restore normal movement, reduce joint irritation and relieve muscle tension while encouraging your body’s natural healing process.
By identifying the extent of your injury and treating the underlying cause of your symptoms, we aim to reduce pain, improve mobility and help you recover as quickly and safely as possible.
Don't ignore the symptoms of whiplash.
Why patients choose Capital Chiropractic
Understanding your whiplash injury.
Your first appointment is focused on understanding how your injury occurred and how it’s affecting your recovery.
We’ll discuss the circumstances of your injury, your symptoms and any changes you’ve noticed since the incident. We’ll then carry out a detailed examination of your neck, spine and nervous system to assess movement, stability and overall function.
If clinically appropriate, we may recommend digital X-rays or advise further medical imaging to rule out more serious injuries before beginning treatment, ensuring your care is both safe and appropriate.

We’ll also provide practical advice on posture, daily activities and exercises you can perform at home to support your recovery and reduce the risk of ongoing problems.
