Whiplash Injury Healing: How Chirohouse Clinic in Prior Lake Can Make Help
Gentle, Effective Whiplash Care at Chirohouse Clinic
Whiplash is one of the most common — and misunderstood — injuries people face after a car accident or sudden impact. Many Prior Lake residents are surprised to learn that whiplash can occur even at speeds as low as 5 miles per hour, and the symptoms may not show up until days or even weeks later.
At Chirohouse Clinic, right on the Prior Lake and Shakopee border, we specialize in gentle, thorough care for whiplash and other auto accident injuries, helping you recover fully and avoid long-term complications.
What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash happens when your head is forcefully thrown forward and backward in a quick motion — like the crack of a whip. This sudden movement strains the muscles, ligaments, and joints in your neck and upper back.
Common causes include:
Rear-end car accidents (even at low speeds)
Sports injuries
Falls
Sudden jolts or impacts
Symptoms of Whiplash
Symptoms can vary widely from person to person. Some show up right away, while others develop over time. Common signs include:
✅ Neck pain and stiffness
✅ Headaches (often starting at the base of the skull)
✅ Pain between the shoulders
✅ Reduced neck mobility
✅ Muscle spasms
✅ Dizziness or balance issues
✅ Numbness or tingling in the arms
✅ Fatigue and trouble concentrating
If left untreated, whiplash can lead to chronic neck pain, headaches, and even long-term loss of mobility.
How We Treat Whiplash at Chirohouse Clinic
At Chirohouse Clinic, we understand that no two whiplash injuries are the same. That’s why we take a detailed, personalized approach to your recovery:
✅ Thorough Evaluation: We start with a detailed exam and, if needed, on-site digital motion study X-rays to pinpoint the extent of your injury.
✅ Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments: Our neurological, instrument-based adjustments help restore proper motion and alignment without aggressive cracking or jerking.
✅ Soft Tissue Therapy: Techniques like massage therapy help reduce muscle tension and speed up healing.
✅ Customized Home Exercises: We’ll show you gentle stretches and exercises to support your recovery between visits.
✅ Complete Documentation: If your whiplash is from a car accident, we provide detailed reports for your personal injury claim — helping protect your health and your legal case.
