Whiplash Injuries

Understanding Whiplash Injuries

A whiplash injury occurs when the head is suddenly forced backward and forward, most commonly in a rear-end car accident or during contact sports. This rapid movement can overstretch or irritate muscles, ligaments, joints, and nerves in the neck.

Common symptoms of whiplash include:

  • Dull, aching neck pain or sharp pain with movement

  • Neck stiffness and reduced range of motion

  • Headaches or dizziness

  • Tingling, pins and needles, or weakness radiating into the arms

​

How Physiotherapy Helps Whiplash

At Pro Perform Physiotherapy in Woodvale, our physiotherapists perform a comprehensive assessment to:

  • Identify the neck structures affected by your injury

  • Grade the severity of your whiplash

  • Rule out any serious complications

Based on your assessment, we will design a personalised whiplash treatment plan that may include:

  • Manual therapy to reduce stiffness and improve neck mobility

  • Targeted exercise therapy to restore strength, stability, and range of motion

  • Posture and ergonomics advice to prevent strain during recovery

  • Home-based stretching and mobility exercises to support long-term improvement
