Whiplash occurs when sudden impact forces your head and neck to snap back and forth, damaging cervical muscles, ligaments, and structures. It is the most common car accident injury, and symptoms often do not appear for 24–72 hours.
At MAIC in the Bronx, we provide comprehensive whiplash diagnosis and treatment for car accident, work injury, and slip and fall patients, combining chiropractic care, physical therapy, pain management, and diagnostic imaging.
Symptoms
After a car accident, symptoms may include pain that develops over days, stiffness, reduced range of motion, numbness or tingling, weakness, and swelling. Many symptoms show delayed onset — this is why seeing a doctor immediately is critical.
How We Treat Whiplash
Treatment begins with comprehensive evaluation including physical examination, diagnostic imaging, and specialist consultation. Your plan may include chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, pain management injections, and orthopedic evaluation as needed.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Untreated injuries lead to chronic pain and permanent limitations. Early intervention gives the best chance at full recovery — and creates the documentation timeline protecting your no-fault coverage. Remember the 30-day deadline.
