Neck pain and stiffness after a car accident are common signs of whiplash. At Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab, we provide personalized treatment focused on reducing pain, restoring mobility, and supporting safe recovery after motor vehicle accidents.
Direct billing is available for eligible ICBC claims.
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries following a motor vehicle accident. Sudden acceleration and deceleration forces can strain muscles, ligaments, and joints in the neck, leading to pain, stiffness, headaches, and reduced movement.
At Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab in Langley, our multidisciplinary team provides evidence-based rehabilitation designed to address both symptoms and underlying movement dysfunction. Early assessment and guided treatment can help support recovery and reduce the risk of persistent discomfort.
Patients recovering from motor vehicle accidents may be eligible for treatment coverage through an ICBC claim, allowing care to begin soon after injury.
Whiplash occurs when the head rapidly moves forward and backward during impact, placing stress on the cervical spine and surrounding soft tissues.
This sudden motion can affect muscles, joints, ligaments, and nerves, leading to pain and mobility limitations that may interfere with daily activities.
Symptoms may appear immediately or develop days after an accident.
Common signs include:
Neck pain and stiffness
Headaches starting at the base of the skull
Shoulder or upper back discomfort
Reduced range of motion
Muscle tension or spasms
Dizziness or fatigue
Tingling or nerve irritation
If symptoms develop after an accident, early evaluation can help guide appropriate treatment.
Your first visit includes a detailed assessment to evaluate movement, posture, and areas of irritation. Based on your findings, a personalized treatment plan is created to support recovery safely and progressively.
Treatment is adjusted as improvement occurs, helping patients return to normal daily activities with greater comfort and confidence.
Recovery timelines vary depending on injury severity, overall health, and how soon treatment begins. Many patients experience gradual improvement within several weeks, while others may require longer rehabilitation to restore full mobility.
Consistent treatment and guided exercises help support recovery and reduce the likelihood of ongoing symptoms.
Recovery often benefits from a combination of therapies working together.
Targeted exercises improve strength, mobility, and neck stability. Learn more on our physiotherapy in Langley page.
Gentle joint mobilization techniques help restore normal spinal movement and reduce stiffness. Learn more on our chiropractor in Langley page.
Registered Massage therapy in Langley reduces muscle tension and improves circulation to support healing.
Without proper care, whiplash injuries may contribute to chronic neck pain or prolonged stiffness.
Early rehabilitation may help:
Reduce inflammation
Restore mobility sooner
Prevent compensatory movement patterns
Improve functional recovery
Support long-term spinal health
Whiplash injuries are often associated with ongoing neck pain, which may benefit from comprehensive rehabilitation approaches.
