Whiplash Injury Pompano Beach
Still dealing with neck pain, stiffness, or tension headaches after an accident or sudden jolt in Pompano Beach? You might be experiencing whiplash—a soft tissue injury that commonly affects the neck, shoulders, and upper back. At Theracave in Pompano Beach, we offer specialized physical therapy for whiplash, designed to relieve pain, restore range of motion, and support a full recovery with care tailored to your individual needs.
Whiplash occurs when the head is suddenly snapped backward and then forward, typically during car accidents, sports injuries, or falls. This motion can strain or damage muscles, ligaments, and nerves in the cervical spine, sometimes with symptoms appearing hours or even days later. At Theracave Pompano Beach, our experienced therapists use a combination of gentle manual therapy, stretching, strengthening exercises, and postural retraining to address the root of your discomfort and prevent long-term issues.
