Car Accident Pain & Whiplash Treatment
20-50 million people are injured or disabled due to car accidents each year. Car accidents can be extremely stressful, burdensome and financially costly. Many people who have been in a car crash don’t feel symptoms like pain and mobility problems until days or even weeks after the accident. For this reason, it’s important to receive immediate medical treatment following a traffic collision. Common injuries after a car accident include whiplash, headaches, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and knee pain.
At Therapydia, we offer same and next day appointments for anyone who has been in a car accident.
Whiplash Pain Treatment
Whiplash is the most reported injury after a car accident. With this type of neck pain, there are multiple variables involved that can contribute to the severity, recovery, and overall impact on your life.
Common symptoms after a car accident may include:
- Stiffness to neck, arms, upper back, and even the face
- Numbness into arms, neck and upper back
- Headache, dizziness, nausea
- Generalized weakness but more with head and neck
- Altered sleeping habits and patterns
- Difficulty with concentration

“I went to Therapydia frustrated because my doctor didn’t get what was going on with my leg (after a car accident ). He wrote a script for physical therapy. Right away on initial evaluation Casey knew exactly what was going on. I left that day in less pain than I had felt in a couple of months. They are by far knowledgeable and expert in their field. What makes it an exceptional experience is that they genuinely care about their clients.”

Under Casey’s care my mind was immediately put at ease and his treatments have worked wonders for my injuries. He is an incredible physical therapist and I would recommend him to anyone seeking treatment for any injury.”
