Whiplash
Treatment
Car accidents can be incredibly traumatic experiences, and the aftermath can be just as difficult to deal with.
One of the most common injuries sustained in car accidents is whiplash, which occurs when the head is suddenly jolted forward and then back, causing the neck to be forcefully whipped back and forth.
Whiplash can cause a range of symptoms, from neck pain and stiffness to headaches and dizziness, and can make it difficult to perform your usual daily activities.
At Prestige Physiotherapy, we understand the challenges of dealing with a whiplash injury.
Our team of experienced physiotherapists will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan to help you recover from your injury.
We use evidence-based treatment approaches, including manual therapy, exercise therapy, and education to help you achieve your goals and get back to your normal life.

- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches, especially at the base of the skull
- Shoulder pain and stiffness
- Reduced range of motion in the neck
