Whiplash PART 2: More Than Just a Pain in the Neck 🚗💥

👉 Management
An initial assessment with a primary health care provider is recommended. They will assess your injury/symptoms and find your entry point for rehabilitation and or activity.

Next, symptom management and desensitization. In some patients, this will be important to initiate early. Treatment might include modalities or manual therapy (passive strategies) but it is always good to also have self-management strategies you will be able to carry out on your own at home between sessions.

As symptoms settle, we progress to exercises to restore range of motion, motor control and strength/endurance.

The type of exercise and the frequency these are carried out will depend on the stage of healing you are in, and the ultimate goals of your rehabilitation.

The best exercises will be the one’s you can be most consistent with. This won’t always be the same for everyone! Your therapist will work with you to trial and program what is best for YOU.

Whiplash symptoms can be unpleasant and unsettling, especially when they persist. Your therapist will be there to explain your diagnosis, review expected healing time frames, map out your treatment plan and answer any questions you may have.

Physiotherapists will also communicate and collaborate with your doctor/medical team as needed to optimize your care plan.

If you’re struggling due to pain, an injury, dizziness, deconditioning, or other health condition(s), our team of therapists are here to help!
