Whiplash Treatment in Edmonton
Even a low-speed crash can cause it — and it’s covered.
Whiplash happens when your head is thrown suddenly back and forth — most often in a car accident, even a low-speed one. It strains the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck, and the symptoms don’t always show up right away.
It’s common to feel fine at the scene and then wake up stiff and sore days later. That delay is normal, and it’s exactly why getting assessed early matters.
Whiplash symptoms
Why early treatment matters
Whiplash is a soft-tissue injury, and soft tissue heals best when it’s moving properly. Left untreated, a whiplashed neck can stiffen into a chronic problem that lingers for months or years. Early, appropriate care helps it heal correctly the first time.
Getting assessed early also creates the medical record that connects your injury to the accident — which matters for your insurance claim.
Your Alberta insurance covers this
If you were injured in a collision in Alberta, your auto insurance includes accident benefits that cover treatment — regardless of fault, and with no referral needed. We bill your insurer directly, so there’s nothing to pay out of pocket for approved care, and we handle the claim documentation for you.
How we treat whiplash
Treatment is gentle and staged to where you are in recovery: careful chiropractic care to restore neck movement, massage therapy to release guarded muscles, and a progression of exercises as you heal. The pace is set by your body, not a template.
