According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 6 million car accidents occur in the U.S. every year, and of those 6 million, over 2.5 million car accidents are rear-ended collisions. This type of car accident is the most common and can cause an injury called "whiplash, " which occurs when the neck extends beyond its normal range of motion.

Your therapist will take time to talk with you and perform a thorough physical evaluation to identify the dysfunction that causes your pain. The PT exercises clinical decision-making of moderate complexity, using a standardized patient assessment instrument and/or measurable assessment of functional outcome. Your therapist will plan a treatment regimen suited to your problems and begin working to restore flexibility and ease discomfort.

Treatment may include heat, cold, massage, manipulation and exercise for relaxation, conditioning and restoring range of motion. Your therapist will help you to continue therapy on your own with a home program designed to fit your needs.
