If you've ever been in a car accident—especially a rear-end collision—you may have walked away feeling fine, only to wake up the next day with neck pain, headaches, or stiffness. That’s whiplash. And if you live in Detroit, you know how unpredictable traffic can be. Whether it’s a fender bender on I-75 or a sudden stop on Woodward, whiplash injuries can sneak up on you, making everyday tasks uncomfortable or even painful.

At Eisman Chiropractic Clinic, we see patients struggling with whiplash all the time, and we know how frustrating it can be. Chiropractic care offers natural, non-invasive ways to help you recover without relying on pain medication or unnecessary procedures.

Understanding Whiplash and Its Symptoms

Whiplash occurs when the neck is suddenly jolted forward and then snapped back, overstretching the muscles and ligaments. While car accidents are the most common cause, sports injuries, falls, or even amusement park rides can lead to whiplash. Symptoms might include:

•          Neck pain and stiffness

•          Headaches, often starting at the base of the skull

•          Shoulder pain or upper back discomfort

•          Dizziness or blurred vision

•          Difficulty concentrating or sleeping

What’s tricky about whiplash is that symptoms don’t always appear immediately. Some people don’t notice discomfort for days or even weeks after the incident. That’s why it’s important to seek care sooner rather than later.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Whiplash Recovery

At our clinic, we take a personalized approach to treating whiplash. Every patient’s experience is different, so your recovery plan should be, too. Our goal is to not only relieve pain but also restore mobility and prevent long-term issues.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Misalignments in the spine—especially in the cervical (neck) region—are common after a whiplash injury. A gentle chiropractic adjustment can help realign the spine, reduce nerve irritation, and improve mobility. Many patients notice relief after just a few sessions, as adjustments help reduce tension and inflammation in the affected areas.

Soft Tissue Therapy & Rehabilitation

Whiplash isn’t just about the bones—it affects muscles, ligaments, and tendons, too. That’s why we incorporate soft tissue therapy to relieve muscle tension and improve blood flow to the injured area. In addition, we provide targeted rehabilitation exercises to strengthen the neck and shoulders, helping to restore full function and prevent future injuries.

Lifestyle & Postural Guidance

Recovery isn’t just about what happens in the clinic—it’s also about what you do at home. Many people don’t realize how much poor posture, stress, and even their daily routines can contribute to lingering pain. Dr. Eisman works with patients to improve posture, adjust workstations, and develop healthier movement habits to support long-term recovery.
