Whiplash Treatment in Indianapolis

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries following a car accident, especially rear-end collisions. It occurs when the head and neck are suddenly forced forward and backward, placing tremendous stress on the muscles, ligaments, joints, and discs of the cervical spine.

Symptoms may not appear immediately and can develop hours or even days after an accident. Common symptoms include:

• Neck pain and stiffness

• Headaches

• Shoulder and upper back pain

• Dizziness or fatigue

• Numbness or tingling in the arms

• Reduced range of motion

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

At 96th Street Chiropractic, we evaluate the entire spine to identify the source of your pain and develop a personalized treatment plan. Our goal is to reduce inflammation, restore proper movement, and help prevent long-term complications.

Treatment may include:

• Gentle chiropractic adjustments

• Soft tissue therapy and muscle rehabilitation

• Spinal decompression and traction techniques

• Stretching and strengthening exercises

• Postural and ergonomic recommendations

Why Early Treatment Matters

Whiplash injuries often involve damage to muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissues that may not appear on standard X-rays. Without proper treatment, scar tissue can develop, leading to chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

The sooner treatment begins, the better the opportunity for a full recovery.
