Whiplash Treatment at ChiroMend Natural Health Center
Understanding Whiplash: Causes, Symptoms & Recovery
Whiplash is a soft-tissue injury that occurs when the head and neck are suddenly forced backward and then forward, often during a car accident or sports impact. This motion strains the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck, leading to pain, stiffness, and potential nerve irritation. At ChiroMend Natural Health Center in Glenview, IL, we offer specialized, gentle care to relieve pain, restore motion, and support complete healing after whiplash injuries.
Common symptoms include:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches, especially at the base of the skull
- Shoulder or upper back discomfort
- Dizziness, fatigue, or blurred vision
- Numbness or tingling in the arms or hands
Frequent causes include:
- Rear-end auto collisions
- Sports injuries or physical impacts
- Falls or sudden head jerks
- Repetitive strain or poor posture following trauma

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon should I seek care after an accident?
As soon as possible. Even minor whiplash can lead to long-term pain if untreated. Early care prevents scar tissue buildup and chronic stiffness.
Can chiropractic care help if I’ve already been treated elsewhere?
Yes. Chiropractic care complements medical treatment by restoring proper alignment and mobility that may not be addressed by medication or rest alone.
Is whiplash treatment painful?
No. We use gentle, low-force techniques specifically designed for sensitive post-injury areas.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients improve within a few weeks, though recovery time depends on injury severity and treatment consistency.
Will my insurance cover chiropractic care for whiplash?
Many auto and personal injury insurance plans include coverage for chiropractic and rehabilitative treatment. Our staff can help verify your benefits.
