Recovery from Whiplash
Whiplash is a common neck injury caused by a sudden, forceful back-and-forth movement of the head. Often resulting from road traffic collisions, sports impacts, or sudden falls, it can affect the muscles, ligaments, and nerves of the cervical spine. At Sterling Spinal Wellness, we provide early expert assessment to reassure you and guide your safe return to daily activities, work, and driving.
