Conditions We Treat
Whiplash Treatment in Seattle
Whiplash is one of the most undertreated injuries in the country. Without proper care, symptoms can become chronic. We see results where other approaches fail.
What Is Whiplash
More Than a Sore Neck
Whiplash occurs when the head is suddenly jerked forward and backward — most commonly in rear-end auto accidents, but also from sports collisions, falls, or physical trauma. The rapid motion strains and tears muscles, ligaments, and joint capsules in the cervical spine.
Untreated whiplash frequently becomes chronic. Studies show that up to 50% of whiplash patients who don't receive proper early treatment continue to have symptoms years later. Early intervention dramatically improves outcomes.

Myofascial release and instrument-assisted techniques to address muscle guarding and scar tissue formation.
Functional Rehabilitation
Progressive exercises to rebuild deep cervical strength and stabilize the injured segments long-term.
Acupuncture
Reduces pain, muscle spasm, and neurological symptoms. Particularly effective for whiplash-associated headaches.
