Whiplash is more than just a sore neck. The rapid acceleration-deceleration affects deep neck muscles, joint capsules, the vestibular system, and often the jaw. A focused, multi-system approach gets you better faster.
Our NE Calgary protocol starts with gentle range-of-motion work and tissue desensitization, then progresses to deep neck flexor activation, scapular control, and graded loading. Manual therapy and dry needling settle the most sensitized structures.
We screen for and treat the common comorbidities — vestibular dysfunction, post-traumatic headaches, TMJ involvement, and concussion symptoms. Missing one of these often explains why recovery stalls.
Most whiplash cases resolve well with structured care; chronic whiplash is harder but still treatable. Either way, the earlier active treatment starts, the better the outcome.
