About Whiplash Treatment
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries from auto accidents, occurring when your head is suddenly jerked backward and forward. This rapid movement can damage the soft tissues in your neck, causing pain, stiffness, and a range of other symptoms.
At Empire Chiropractic, Dr. Jerome Greenberg specializes in treating whiplash injuries. Using gentle chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapy, we help restore proper alignment to your cervical spine and promote natural healing.
