Whiplash Treatment

Whiplash Treatment in Tucson, AZ

Gentle Chiropractic Care After a Rear-End Collision

If you’ve been involved in a rear-end car accident, you may be feeling the effects of whiplash, a soft tissue injury caused by the rapid back-and-forth motion of the neck. Even low-speed collisions can result in neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and reduced mobility. At Ornelas Chiropractic, we offer gentle, non-invasive treatment for whiplash injuries to help you feel better and heal faster.

What Is Whiplash?

Whiplash is a soft tissue injury to the neck that commonly occurs during auto accidents. The sudden jolt from a collision can strain or tear muscles, tendons, and ligaments, leading to pain that may not show up until hours or days later. Without treatment, whiplash can result in long-term discomfort or chronic neck problems.

Common Symptoms of Whiplash:

  • Neck pain or stiffness

  • Limited range of motion

  • Headaches (especially at the base of the skull)

  • Shoulder or upper back pain

  • Tingling or numbness in the arms

  • Dizziness or fatigue

  • Pain that worsens with movement

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms after a crash, it’s important to get evaluated, even if the accident seemed minor.

Our approach includes:

  • Gentle spinal adjustments to correct misalignment and reduce nerve pressure
