Whiplash
Injured in an Auto Accident in Green Bay WI?
Specialized chiropractic care that helps reduce pain, restore mobility, and prevent long-term complications after auto accident injuries.
Whiplash and other auto-related injuries are extremely common, especially in rear-end collisions. Many people don’t realize they’ve been injured until days, weeks, or even months after the crash. Even low-speed accidents can create significant spinal trauma. At Cornerstone Chiropractic, we help identify hidden injuries early and provide safe, effective care to support your recovery.
Common Symptoms After an Auto Accident:
Neck pain or stiffness
Headaches
Shoulder or upper back pain
Dizziness or fatigue
Tingling or numbness in the arms
Reduced range of motion
If you’ve been in an accident, it’s important to get evaluated even if symptoms seem mild — complications often develop later.
Whiplash in Green Bay WI
Whiplash occurs when the neck is rapidly forced backward and forward, overstretching muscles, ligaments, and joints. Without proper care, these injuries can progress into chronic pain, stiffness, and long-term spinal issues.
Many people delay treatment because:
They don’t feel pain immediately
Their doctor dismissed low-speed injuries
Symptoms take time to appear
However, research clearly shows that even low-speed impacts can cause significant damage, especially when the headrest is set too low, which increases the acceleration of the head during impact.
Early chiropractic care can help:
Reduce inflammation
Restore normal joint movement
Improve posture
Prevent long-term complications
What Research Shows
A well-known study by Woodward et al. showed 93% improvement in patients with whiplash who received chiropractic care. Treatment included spinal adjustments, cryotherapy, and PNF stretching — all aimed at restoring movement and reducing nerve irritation.
Many patients had tried traditional medical care first, including:
NSAIDs
Soft collars
Physiotherapy
But saw far better results once chiropractic care was introduced.
Chiropractic care often helps with symptoms such as:
Neck pain
Back pain
Headaches
Shoulder pain
Arm pain, numbness, or tingling
