Whiplash & Neck Pain After Motor Vehicle Accidents

Whiplash is one of the most common causes of neck pain following a motor vehicle accident. The sudden forward and backward movement of the head places stress on the muscles, joints, and ligaments of the neck, often leading to pain, stiffness, headaches, and reduced mobility.

Symptoms may appear immediately or develop several days after an accident.

Common whiplash symptoms include:

  • Neck stiffness and pain

  • Headaches starting at the base of the skull

  • Shoulder or upper back tension

  • Limited range of motion

  • Dizziness or fatigue

  • Arm pain or tingling sensations

At Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab, treatment focuses on restoring normal movement and supporting safe recovery through:

Early assessment and treatment can help prevent long-term discomfort and chronic neck problems.

If you have an approved ICBC claim, treatment sessions may be available.

Neck Pain Treatment for WorkSafeBC Injuries

Neck pain is a common issue following workplace injuries and repetitive strain. Tasks such as prolonged computer work, lifting, physical labour, or sudden incidents at work can place stress on the muscles and joints of the neck, leading to stiffness, reduced mobility, and ongoing discomfort.

At Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab, we provide coordinated rehabilitation to support recovery from WorkSafeBC-related neck injuries, focusing on restoring movement, reducing pain, and helping patients safely return to daily activities.

Common workplace causes of neck pain include:

  • Prolonged desk or computer posture

  • Repetitive movements and overuse

  • Lifting or physical job demands

  • Poor ergonomic setup

  • Sudden strains or workplace incidents

Treatment may include a combination of:

Early assessment and guided treatment can help prevent persistent symptoms and support long-term recovery.

Muscles Affected by Neck Pain

Neck pain often develops when certain muscles become tight, overworked, or weakened due to poor posture, stress, or injury. Modern activities such as computer work and phone use commonly place extra strain on the muscles that support the head and neck.

The most commonly affected muscles include:

  • Upper trapezius – often tight with shoulder and neck tension

  • Levator scapulae – contributes to stiffness when turning the head

  • Sternocleidomastoid (SCM) – associated with headaches and front-neck discomfort

  • Scalene muscles – may contribute to neck tightness and arm symptoms

  • Deep neck flexors – weakened with forward head posture

Gentle stretching and movement can help reduce stiffness and improve mobility when performed correctly.

Helpful Stretches for Neck Pain

Helpful stretches may include:

  • Upper trapezius stretch: Gently tilt your head toward one shoulder while keeping shoulders relaxed.

  • Levator scapula stretch: Turn your head slightly downward toward your armpit and hold lightly.

  • Chest opening stretch: Stand tall and open the chest to counter forward posture.

  • Chin tucks: Draw the chin backward to strengthen deep neck stabilizing muscles.

Stretches should be performed slowly and without pain. A professional assessment can help determine which muscles require stretching versus strengthening for safe and effective recovery.

Our team provides personalized exercise guidance as part of comprehensive neck pain treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Neck Pain Treatment

When should I see a professional for neck pain?

If pain lasts longer than a few days, limits movement, or causes headaches or arm symptoms, an assessment is recommended.

Yes. Our chiropractors use controlled, evidence-based techniques tailored to your comfort and condition.

Both treatments address different aspects of recovery. Chiropractic helps with joint restrictions and difficulty with movement and physiotherapy helps neck pain through active and manual therapy. Many patients benefit from a combined approach.

Massage reduces muscle tension but works best alongside corrective treatment like physiotherapy or chiropractic care.

Realign also offers pelvic floor physiotherapy as well as custom orthotics

This depends on the cause and severity of your condition. Most patients notice improvement within the first few visits.
