Whiplash Treatment in Bainbridge Island
Even a low-speed car accident can injure your neck. At Island Health & Chiropractic, we help Bainbridge Island accident patients recover from whiplash with gentle, personalized care.
Whiplash happens when the head is suddenly thrown forward and back, most often in a rear-end collision. The force can injure the soft tissues, joints, discs and nerves of the neck, and symptoms may not appear for hours or even days.
Injuries That Can Come With Whiplash
- Sprained ligaments and strained neck muscles
- Misaligned or restricted joints in the spine
- Bulging or herniated discs
- Irritated nerves
- Injuries to the bones of the spine
Symptoms of Whiplash
- Neck pain and stiffness, or trouble turning your head
- Pain in the shoulders, upper back or arms
- Headaches, often at the base of the skull
- Dizziness, blurred vision or ringing in the ears
- Numbness or tingling in the arms, hands or fingers
- Fatigue, trouble sleeping or difficulty concentrating
- Feeling low or irritable after the accident

We start with a thorough exam to document your injuries. Gentle ProAdjuster® adjustments, soft-tissue work, laser therapy and guided exercises help restore movement and reduce pain. Early care can help prevent short-term pain from becoming a long-term problem.
