Whiplash
A sudden jolt can leave vertebrae shifted and your body bracing for months. Dr. Kim works to correct what the impact left behind.
Whiplash happens when your head is thrown forward and back faster than the neck can handle — often in a car accident, but also from falls and sports. The pain, stiffness, and headaches that follow are usually the body compensating for vertebrae that shifted out of position and never came back. Dr. Kim's approach finds those shifts, corrects them, and releases the adhesions that keep the body locked up after an injury.
Sound familiar?
- Neck pain or stiffness after an accident or fall
- Headaches that started after the injury
- Reduced range of motion when turning your head
- Symptoms that lingered long after they 'should' have
How Dr. Kim helps
- A structural exam and X-rays to see what the impact shifted
- Correcting forward vertebrae the body can't fix on its own
- Releasing the adhesions an injury leaves behind
- Gentle, specific care — no forceful cranking on an injured neck
Don’t let an old injury settle in
Whiplash that’s “mostly fine” has a way of becoming chronic neck pain and headaches years later. Dr. Kim works to correct what the accident actually shifted, so your body can stop bracing.

Questions
Whiplash — Frequently Asked
How long after a car accident should I get checked?
Sooner is generally better — symptoms can show up days or weeks later, and the body starts compensating right away. Start with a consultation and exam so Dr. Kim can see what's going on and tell you honestly whether she can help.
Is the care gentle on an already-injured neck?
Yes. Dr. Kim uses specific, low-force techniques rather than forceful twisting — important when a neck is already irritated.
Why do whiplash symptoms last so long?
Because the underlying structural shift often isn't corrected — the body just keeps compensating around it. Addressing that cause is the goal of Dr. Kim's approach.
