Whiplash Chiropractor in Los Angeles
Care After Car Accidents, Even Low-Speed Collisions
A whiplash chiropractor in Los Angeles can identify injuries that aren’t obvious right after a crash. At Faye Chiropractic, Dr. Heather Faye evaluates your neck, back, joints, and soft tissues for damage that adrenaline and delayed inflammation may be hiding.
Even low-speed motor vehicle accidents can produce significant forces on the body. Whiplash injuries commonly affect the neck, upper back, lower back, ligaments, muscles, joints, and surrounding soft tissues. Symptoms include neck or back pain, headaches, stiffness, dizziness, numbness or tingling, and reduced range of motion. Since adrenaline and inflammation can delay the onset of symptoms, many people do not feel the full extent of their injuries until hours, or even days, after the accident.
A thorough examination helps identify joint dysfunction, soft tissue injuries, muscular adaptation, and nerve irritation that may not be immediately apparent. When indicated, diagnostic imaging and referrals to the appropriate medical specialists are recommended to ensure an accurate diagnosis and comprehensive care.
Symptoms That Can Appear After an Accident:
Neck or back pain shows up hours or even days after the collision
Headaches have started since the accident, especially at the base of the skull
Turning your head or bending forward feels stiff and noticeably more restricted than before
You’ve noticed dizziness, or numbness and tingling in your arms or hands
You felt fine at the scene but feel sore and achy now
Pain from a previous accident never fully went away, even months later
Getting Your Body Back After a Collision
Whiplash forces can strain ligaments, muscles, and joints throughout the spine. Early evaluation identifies joint dysfunction, soft tissue injuries, and nerve irritation that may go unnoticed, so treatment can begin sooner.
A thorough examination of the neck, upper back, and lower back after impact
Adjustments and soft tissue therapy to restore motion and ease muscle guarding
Imaging and referrals to medical specialists when your injuries call for them
Laser therapy and exercise to support healing and rebuild range of motion
