    Understanding Whiplash: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment in Palm Harbor

    Whiplash is one of the most common injuries resulting from auto accidents. At Physical Therapy Now Palm Harbor, we see whiplash patients regularly.

    Whiplash occurs when the head is suddenly jerked forward and backward, straining the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the neck. Common symptoms include neck pain and stiffness, headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, and fatigue.

    Our comprehensive whiplash treatment plan includes cervical manual therapy, progressive neck strengthening, postural correction, and pain management using ice, heat, and electrical stimulation.

    Physical Therapy Now Palm Harbor accepts auto insurance, PIP coverage, and works with attorneys for accident cases.
