Some therapies we may use for whiplash treatment in our Grand Rapids clinic

Chances are you’ve been in an auto accident before, and this means you’re likely to have experienced some form of whiplash. For those lucky enough to have never been in a car accident, you may not know what whiplash is or what therapies a whiplash treatment plan may include.

Whiplash is a common type of auto accident injury. Especially in rear-end collisions, car accidents can cause forceful and rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck and head. This movement of the neck is called whiplash because your neck looks like a cracking whip.

There are many symptoms associated with auto accident-related whiplash. The most common symptom of this injury is neck pain and stiffness. You may also lose some of the range of motion in your neck with whiplash. Headaches are also a common symptom for whiplash sufferers. Other symptoms that you may have to deal with include unexplained fatigue, dizziness and blurred vision.

To help you treat these symptoms, our Advent Physical Therapy team offers treatment plans that may include therapies such as:

• Soft tissue massage
• Manual therapy
• Strengthening exercises
• Targeted stretches
• Electrical stimulation

Our team at Advent Physical Therapy prides itself on making sure you have all the information you need about whiplash treatment. We can also help you treat many other auto accident injuries, but you’ll need to take one step first before you can get our help.
