Treatment For Whiplash and Neck Injuries
Whiplash is a common neck injury, especially for car accident victims. Even low-speed crashes can cause the head to snap forward and back, overstretching soft tissues and leading to lasting pain if untreated.
AICA provides expert whiplash care across Metro Atlanta with same-day appointments, on-site imaging, and a full team of specialists under one roof, from orthopedics and spine surgeons to chiropractors and neurologists. If you weren’t at fault, we’ll support your legal claim and help you recover—often with no out-of-pocket costs.
What causes Whiplash?
Whiplash is a specific type of neck strain caused by sudden, forceful motion of the head—often from being rear-ended in a crash. The injury occurs when muscles and tendons in the neck are pushed past their limits, leading to microtears and inflammation. It’s also common in contact sports or physical assaults.
People often confuse whiplash with a neck sprain. The difference is in the tissue affected: whiplash damages muscles and tendons (a strain), while sprains involve ligaments. Both can cause similar pain, and our team can diagnose exactly what’s wrong and how to treat it.
Signs You Should See a Whiplash Doctor
After a car accident, it’s easy to brush off soreness as something that will just go away. But whiplash symptoms can take time to show up—and when they do, they often feel worse than expected. Even if the crash felt minor, your body may be telling a different story.
Here are some common signs of whiplash to watch for:
- Headaches at the base of the skull that may move toward the forehead
- Neck pain or tenderness, especially when you touch the area
- Stiffness or pain when turning your head or looking up and down
- Tight, knotted muscles in your neck or upper back
- Limited range of motion in your neck
- General discomfort that doesn’t improve after a few days
If anything here sounds familiar, don’t wait and hope it passes. Get checked by AICA’s whiplash doctors near you to avoid complications and start feeling better faster.
