in San Jose, CA
At Ross Chiropractic, Dr. Allison Ross offers gentle, effective care to address whiplash symptoms and support your body as it heals.
Relief From Whiplash After an Auto Accident or Injury
Whiplash can happen in a moment, but the pain it creates can last far longer. Sudden force — often from a car accident, sports injury, or unexpected fall — can cause the neck to snap forward and back, straining the muscles, ligaments, joints, and nerves in the cervical spine.
At Ross Chiropractic, Dr. Allison Ross offers gentle, effective care to address whiplash symptoms and support your body as it heals. With nearly two decades of experience, she helps patients reduce pain, regain mobility, and restore balance after traumatic neck injuries.
Understanding Whiplash
Whiplash occurs when the neck is forced through a rapid, unnatural movement. The joints may become irritated, muscles overstretched, and surrounding soft tissues inflamed. Even low-speed accidents can cause significant discomfort, especially if symptoms are ignored in the early stages.
Common signs of whiplash include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, shoulder tension, reduced range of motion, and difficulty turning the head. Some patients also experience dizziness, upper back discomfort, or radiating pain that travels into the arms.
These symptoms may appear immediately, but for many people, they develop gradually in the days following the incident.
Why Chiropractic Care Helps After Whiplash
Whiplash affects the spine, joints, and surrounding soft tissues — areas where chiropractic care is especially effective. When the neck loses proper alignment and mobility, inflammation increases and muscles compensate by tightening, which can prolong pain and limit movement.
Chiropractic care helps restore natural motion to the cervical spine, reduce strain on irritated tissues, and promote healing. By addressing both the alignment of the neck and the tension surrounding it, chiropractic treatment encourages better circulation, reduces inflammation, and helps prevent the long-term effects of untreated whiplash.

What to Expect During Your Visit
Your appointment begins with a detailed assessment to understand how the injury occurred, which structures are affected, and what movements create discomfort. Dr. Ross will explain your findings clearly and recommend a plan that supports your recovery.
Treatment may include gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore motion, soft-tissue therapy to reduce tension, and corrective exercises to help rebuild stability. Each visit is tailored to your comfort level and progresses at a pace that supports your healing.
Most patients notice improvements in mobility, pain levels, and daily comfort as treatment continues.
The Benefits of Early Care
Seeking treatment soon after the injury helps reduce inflammation, restore mobility more quickly, and prevent the discomfort from becoming chronic. Early care also helps your body heal with proper alignment, reducing the risk of long-term stiffness or recurring neck issues.
However, it is never too late to seek help. Even patients with older injuries often experience meaningful relief with the right approach.
