Whiplash
A sudden jolt can leave vertebrae shifted and your body compensating 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.

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 compensating.

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.
Why do whiplash symptoms last so long?
Because the underlying structural shift often isn't corrected, so the body just keeps compensating around it. Addressing that cause is the goal of Dr. Kim's approach.
How do I get started?
Begin with the $29 new patient special: consultation, exam, X-rays, and report of findings. Call 860-495-0362.
Can a chiropractor help whiplash from a car accident?
Often yes. A sudden jolt can shift vertebrae forward that no muscle can pull back, and the lingering pain is usually the body compensating around them. Dr. Kim finds those shifts and corrects them, then will tell you honestly whether her approach is helping.
I had an accident months ago and still hurt. Is it too late?
It's rarely too late to get evaluated. When the underlying shift was never corrected, the body keeps compensating, which is why symptoms settle in. Start with an exam and X-rays so you can see what the impact left behind.
Do you submit to auto insurance for whiplash claims?
Dr. Kim does not bill insurance directly, but she provides superbills you can submit to your auto or health plan yourself. HSA and FSA cards are welcome, along with cash, check, and major credit cards.
How long will whiplash care take?
It depends on what the exam shows, and Dr. Kim will lay out a clear care plan by your third visit. Her corrective approach is designed to reach an actual end point rather than continue indefinitely.
