Whiplash Treatment in Edmonton
If you’ve been in an auto accident or experienced a sudden jolt that caused your head to move forward and back, you may be feeling the lingering effects of whiplash. Even minor collisions can strain the neck’s muscles, ligaments, and joints, leaving your body tense, guarded, and out of balance. Our focus at South Side Chiropractic is on helping your body regain comfort, mobility, and neurological balance after stress or injury.
Understanding Whiplash Beyond the Neck
Whiplash isn’t only a neck concern. The quick acceleration and deceleration can affect the entire spine and nervous system. Your body’s natural response is to protect itself, tightening muscles, changing posture, and increasing the nervous system’s stress response. That’s why many people with whiplash notice headaches, shoulder tension, or a general sense of feeling “off” even weeks after the event.
Viewed through a polyvagal lens, the body’s protective reflexes after trauma can keep the nervous system in a state of hypervigilance. Our approach supports your body in feeling safe again so it can move, regulate, and recover naturally.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
The goal at the practice is to support your body’s natural process of neurological regulation and movement. Our chiropractors assess subtle changes in spinal alignment, posture, and movement patterns that may contribute to ongoing tension after a whiplash injury.
Gentle, neurologically focused chiropractic care may help:
- Restore proper motion to the joints of the spine and neck
- Reduce muscle tension and promote balance between protective and relaxed states
- Support nervous system communication for better coordination and movement
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit includes a detailed history, posture and movement assessment, and nervous system scan. X-rays may be recommended based on your needs. From there, we develop a personalized plan focused on improving function and mobility, not just symptom relief.
You’ll receive gentle adjustments that match your comfort level, along with strategies to support recovery between visits.
