Whiplash is a common injury sustained during motor vehicle accidents (MVA), caused by the rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck. This sudden motion can result in damage to the muscles, ligaments, and soft tissues of the neck, leading to symptoms such as pain, stiffness, headaches, and reduced mobility. At Surge Wellness, we understand the complexities of whiplash injuries and how they can impact your day-to-day life. Our team specializes in treating whiplash with a comprehensive approach that addresses both the immediate symptoms and the underlying damage, helping you recover fully and regain normal function.
Whiplash injuries can vary in severity, with some individuals experiencing symptoms immediately, while others may notice discomfort days or even weeks after the accident. Left untreated, whiplash can lead to chronic pain, mobility issues, and even long-term complications affecting your quality of life. At Surge Wellness, we provide expert care to ensure that your whiplash injury is properly assessed and treated. By addressing both the physical and functional aspects of the injury, we aim to reduce pain, restore movement, and prevent long-term damage, helping you return to your normal activities as quickly and safely as possible.
At Surge Wellness, our treatment for whiplash injuries combines the expertise of physiotherapy and registered massage therapy. Our physiotherapists use manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and posture correction to help restore proper neck function and reduce pain. We tailor each treatment plan to the severity of your whiplash injury, focusing on improving mobility, reducing muscle stiffness, and addressing any misalignments in the spine. With gradual progression, we help you regain strength and flexibility, ensuring that your recovery is both effective and long-lasting.
Massage therapy plays a crucial role in treating the muscle tension and inflammation that often accompany whiplash injuries. Our registered massage therapists use techniques such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to alleviate muscle spasms, reduce pain, and promote healing. By combining physiotherapy and massage therapy, we offer a comprehensive approach to treating whiplash injuries, addressing both the immediate symptoms and the root causes. This integrated approach helps speed up your recovery process and ensures that you return to full mobility without lingering pain or discomfort.
Physiotherapy is effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including back pain, sports injuries, arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and neurological disorders. It helps with pain management and mobility improvement.
A typical physiotherapy session lasts between 45 minutes to an hour, depending on your treatment plan and the complexity of your condition.
In most cases, a referral is not required to see a physiotherapist. However, some insurance providers may require one for coverage purposes, so it’s best to check with your provider.
The number of sessions varies depending on the severity of your condition and your personal recovery goals. Your physiotherapist will assess your needs and recommend an appropriate treatment schedule.
