This is a simple exercise to help strengthen the neck following an injury like whiplash. I like to start these with my patients once the inflammation subsides. Usually after 3 days. But everyone is different so please reach out with any questions.

Condition Spotlight: Whiplash
If you’ve ever been in a car accident you likely suffered a whiplash injury. Pain can occur right away or a few days after. This injury can damage the muscles and other structures in your neck causing instability, neck pain and headaches. Whiplash can be a cause of degeneration and chronic pain down the road so address it right away!
