In Melbourne, we commonly see whiplash injuries after car accidents in the CBD and sporting events. The sudden back-and-forth motion strains the muscles, ligaments and joints in your neck, leaving you in pain and limiting your movement. Many of our patients first notice stiffness when sitting at their desk or commuting, which can worsen without treatment.
The most common causes include:
Symptoms can appear straight away or worsen over time. These may include neck stiffness, headaches, muscle spasms and reduced movement. In some cases, untreated whiplash can lead to long-term discomfort and ongoing pain.
At The Alignment Studio, our physiotherapists specialise in identifying these symptoms early and creating treatment plans to speed up recovery and prevent chronic issues.
Whiplash is a common injury that occurs when the neck is subjected to a rapid back-and-forth motion, similar to the cracking of a whip. This mechanism of injury often results from a sudden deceleration or acceleration, as seen in a car accident. The force of such incidents can strain the cervical spine, leading to soft tissue injuries affecting muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
While motor vehicle accidents are the most common cause of whiplash, it can also occur during contact sports or even high-speed activities like rollercoaster rides. These situations can exert significant stress on the neck, causing injuries that may require immediate medical attention to prevent long-term complications.
Whiplash symptoms can appear immediately or develop in the days after an accident. Common signs to watch for include:
If whiplash is not treated early, these issues can worsen and lead to long-term problems. Untreated whiplash may cause damage to the joints and discs in the neck, resulting in:
The good news is that early physiotherapy can prevent these complications. At The Alignment Studio in Melbourne, our experienced physiotherapists provide hands-on treatment and tailored exercises to relieve pain quickly, restore movement and protect your long-term health.
At The Alignment Studio, we use evidence-based physiotherapy treatment techniques to address the unique needs of whiplash patients. Our tailored treatment approaches include manual therapy and joint mobilisation, both of which are highly effective for pain relief and improving neck movement.
These methods work to restore mobility and reduce tension in the cervical spine and surrounding muscles.
Soft tissue massage is another key component of our treatment plan, helping to alleviate muscle tension and reduce inflammation in the affected area.
Additionally, movement exercises and neck-specific exercises are incorporated to promote whiplash recovery. These exercises are designed to improve motor control, strengthen neck muscles, and enhance overall stability.
For patients experiencing severe pain, we may recommend dry needling or muscle relaxants as part of the care pathway. These techniques are effective for targeting deep muscle spasm and relieving acute discomfort, enabling patients to regain their range of motion more quickly.
Our comprehensive care begins with a thorough physical examination to assess the affected area and identify physical signs of injury.
This initial assessment allows us to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Strengthening exercises and stretching exercises are then introduced to improve muscle strength and flexibility, helping to support the cervical spine and reduce the risk of future injuries.
In addition to physical therapy, our team focuses on improving motor control to enhance overall movement and coordination.
By addressing both the immediate symptoms and underlying causes of whiplash, we aim to provide effective treatment that supports long-term recovery.
Whether you’re dealing with acute whiplash or managing chronic symptoms, our approach is designed to help you achieve your health goals.
