Personalised Chiropractic Care for Whiplash in London
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden movement of the head, most often in a road traffic accident. Pain, stiffness and headaches can start immediately or appear a day or two later.
I’m Dr Ida Norgaard, a chiropractor at Inc-Health in central London. I assess the neck and upper back carefully, check for signs that need urgent medical attention and, where appropriate, offer gentle treatment. See also our neck pain page.

Understanding Whiplash
What Happens to the Neck in Whiplash
In whiplash the muscles, ligaments and joints of the neck are stretched beyond their normal range. This can cause pain, stiffness, reduced movement, headaches, dizziness and pain between the shoulder blades.
Most people improve over weeks, and staying gently active usually helps recovery. Chiropractic care may help by easing joint restriction and muscle spasm and by guiding a graded return to normal movement.
Clear, personalised care for whiplash
Every whiplash consultation starts with listening and a careful assessment of your neck, shoulders and upper back, followed by clear advice on your next steps.

How We Help
How Can a Chiropractor Help With Whiplash?
After a thorough history and examination, treatment is chosen to suit how irritable your neck is. Early on it is usually gentle, with soft tissue work, mobilisation and simple movements; manipulation is used only where it is appropriate and safe.
I also explain how to sleep, work and drive comfortably, and give exercises to restore movement and strength. If I am concerned about the severity of the injury I will arrange appropriate investigation or referral.
Treatment is non-surgical and drug-free, and your response is reviewed as we go. If your symptoms need further investigation, Dr Norgaard will refer you.

Whiplash Symptoms
Whiplash Symptoms After a Road Accident
Typical whiplash symptoms are neck pain and stiffness, headaches at the base of the skull, shoulder and upper back pain, tiredness and sometimes dizziness or difficulty concentrating. They may be delayed by hours or days.
Keep moving gently, avoid prolonged rest and a rigid collar unless advised, and use heat or ice if comfortable. If you have had a serious accident, or you have any of the warning signs below, go to A&E first. See also headache care.
Your Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Whiplash
Can a chiropractor treat whiplash?
Chiropractic care can be part of recovery from whiplash once serious injury has been ruled out. Treatment is gentle and tailored to how your neck is behaving.
How soon after an accident should I be seen?
If you have symptoms after an accident, a prompt assessment is sensible. After a serious collision, go to A&E first to rule out fracture or other injury.
How long does whiplash take to recover?
Many people improve within weeks, but some symptoms last longer. Recovery depends on the severity of the injury and how you respond to care.
Is treatment safe after whiplash?
Yes, when it is chosen carefully. I assess the neck first and use gentle techniques, avoiding anything inappropriate for an irritable neck.
