Whiplash Treatment

Research shows that ACTIVE treatment has better long term outcomes than passively receiving care.

A woman being treated for whiplash

Physical therapy treatment for whiplash is recommended within 10 days of injury to avoid chronic pain. There are a variety of pain management strategies (such as heat or ice) as well as a number of active treatments (such as stretching and strengthening). Research shows that without active treatment, injured tissues don’t heal properly or fully. At Bonavista Physical Therapy, we provide advice to help you avoid unnecessary strain and personalized treatment to help you recover from your injury quickly.
