Whiplash Injury Treatment in Dallas — Recover Quickly & Safely
Whiplash injuries affect muscles, ligaments, and facet joints in the cervical spine. Symptoms may include stiffness, headaches, dizziness, or radiating pain into the shoulders and arms. Some patients also experience post-concussion symptoms. Dallasspine evaluates each case thoroughly—reviewing outside imaging, ordering scans if necessary, and using iPAS concussion testing to identify hidden brain injury. Our goal is fast recovery with long-term protection of spinal and neurological health.

Request Your Same-Day Whiplash Injury Evaluation
Don’t wait in pain — our expert spine specialists are available for same-day evaluations.
Whiplash is a rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, often from rear-end car accidents, sports collisions, or falls. It stretches ligaments and irritates facet joints, causing pain, stiffness, and sometimes nerve symptoms. Early care prevents chronic issues. Learn more on our Neck Pain page.
See a doctor immediately if you have neck pain, headaches, dizziness, or numbness in the arms after a crash. Early evaluation with exam, imaging review, and concussion screening ensures hidden injuries aren’t missed. Request same-day care at our Whiplash Injury page.
Many patients with whiplash also sustain mild traumatic brain injury. At Dallas Spine, we use iPAS concussion testing to check balance, vision, and cognition. This allows us to create a dual treatment plan for both neck and brain recovery. Learn more on our Head Injury & Concussion page ».
Early activity and guided therapy are most effective. Short-term collars help only for the first 48–72 hours. For lingering pain, targeted injections like trigger-point or facet blocks provide relief, with RF ablation for chronic cases. See our Injections & Procedures page»
Yes. Without treatment, whiplash can progress into chronic neck pain, cervicogenic headaches, or nerve irritation. Scar tissue and poor posture habits make later recovery harder. Early diagnosis and intervention shorten recovery time and prevent disability. Learn more on our Cervical Stenosis page »
