Whiplash Injury Care in West Omaha

Specialized Chiropractic for Auto Accident Injuries and Brain Trauma

If you’ve recently been in a car accident and are now dealing with neck pain, headaches, dizziness, or brain fog, you could be suffering from whiplash-associated disorder (WAD). This type of injury can affect not just your neck and spine, but also your brain function and overall nervous system health.

At Green Chiropractic, we provide comprehensive care for auto accident injuries using advanced training in Auto Injury Trauma and Brain Traumatology. We take a detailed, whole-body approach to help you recover properly and avoid long-term complications.

Whiplash injuries don’t just affect your neck—they can disrupt your entire nervous system. Our goal is complete neurological and physical recovery, not just temporary relief.

What Is Whiplash-Associated Disorder?

Whiplash happens when your head and neck are forcefully thrown forward and backward—most often in a rear-end collision. This violent motion can damage:

Spinal joints and discs
Neck muscles and ligaments
Nerve pathways and signaling
The brain and central nervous system

Symptoms may appear immediately or be delayed for several days after the accident. Common signs include:

Neck pain or stiffness
Headaches or migraines
Dizziness or balance problems
Shoulder or upper back pain
Brain fog, memory trouble, or mood changes

Without proper care, these injuries can worsen and lead to chronic pain or long-term neurological symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is whiplash-associated disorder (WAD)?

WAD refers to a range of injuries caused by rapid back-and-forth motion of the neck. It affects not just the muscles and joints, but can also involve nerves, discs, and even brain function.

How soon after an accident should I get checked?

As soon as possible. Even if you feel okay initially, symptoms often appear days later. Early intervention helps prevent long-term issues.

Do you provide documentation for insurance or legal cases?

Yes. We offer detailed reports and notes that can assist with personal injury claims, legal documentation, and insurance filing.

Can chiropractic care help if I’ve already tried other treatments?

Absolutely. Many of our patients seek us out after other approaches failed to fully resolve their pain. We focus on the root cause—not just symptoms—for lasting recovery.

What if I didn’t go to the ER after my accident?

That’s okay—many injuries aren’t detected by emergency room exams. Chiropractic evaluation is essential for uncovering the hidden effects of auto trauma.
