What Is Whiplash and Car Accident Rehab?
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a fast back-and-forth movement of the head, most often in a rear-end collision. It can strain the muscles, ligaments and joints of the neck and upper back. Symptoms do not always show up right away. Many people feel fine at the scene and then wake up a day or two later with a stiff neck, headaches or pain between the shoulder blades.
Car accident rehab at our Mississauga clinic looks at the whole picture: whiplash, low back pain, shoulder and knee injuries, dizziness and the stress that can follow a collision. We start with a full assessment, explain what we find in plain language and build a plan to get you back to work, driving and daily life.
