Recover Your Strength. Regain Your Comfort.

A whiplash injury is the result of the head being forcefully jerked back and forth. It usually occurs in car accidents, contact sports, falls or sudden impacts. This violent motion can tear or strain your muscles, ligaments and joints in your neck. The result is pain, stiffness and restricted mobility.

At Kinetic Care Physiotherapy & Acupuncture Clinic in Green Park, Reading, our experienced, licensed physiotherapist helps patients recover from whiplash injury safely and effectively. Our treatments restore your strength and confidence.

Common Causes of Whiplash

Whiplash is most commonly associated with rear-end car accidents, but it can also result from:

  • Contact sports (e.g., rugby, football)
  • Falls or slips
  • Physical assaults or blows to the head

What Are The Symptoms Of Whiplash?

  • You suffer from neck pain and stiffness. 
  • Headaches that happen at the base of your skull. 
  • Dizziness or fatigue. 
  • Discomfort in the shoulders or the upper back. 
  • Restricted range of motion.

How We Help You Recover From Whiplash With Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is the most effective treatment for a whiplash injury. At Kinetic Care, our expert physiotherapist offers a customised approach that includes:

  • Manual therapy and mobilisation to ease stiffness and regain movement.
  • Reducing inflammation with massage and soft tissue techniques.
  • Relieving muscle pain and calming nerves with acupuncture, if suitable.
  • Preventing long-term strain or injury recurrence using postural correction.

How We Ensure Complete Recovery From Whiplash

At Kinetic Care Physiotherapy & Acupuncture Clinic, our goal is to help you recover from whiplash in a way that is safe, sustainable, and tailored to your body. A whiplash injury can be physically limiting and mentally draining. Whether your symptoms began after a car accident, sports injury, or fall, they can affect your work, sleep, mood, and everyday movement.

Along with affecting your neck, a whiplash injury also impacts your sleep, your mood, your work and your normal daily life. That is why, at Kinetic Care, we focus on:

  • Offering relief from pain. 
  • Restoring your mobility. 
  • Strengthening the supporting muscles. 
  • Helping you to move confidently.

We understand that each whiplash case is different. Before we create a tailored treatment plan for you, we first start with a detailed assessment.
