Whiplash Associated Disorder (WAD) refers to a range of symptoms caused by sudden, forceful movement of the neck—most commonly from car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. This rapid back-and-forth motion strains the muscles, ligaments, and nerves in the cervical spine, leading to pain, stiffness, headaches, and sometimes dizziness or numbness.
At Family Chiropractic of Clark and New York, Dr. Tricia Mastropietro provides expert chiropractic care tailored to treat whiplash injuries. Our focus is on reducing pain and inflammation, restoring neck mobility, and supporting your body’s natural healing process to help you recover fully and safely.
