How To Treat And Manage Whiplash

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy can be very effective for relieving pain and encouraging healing when it comes to a whiplash injury. There are two main types of physical therapy: active and passive. If you have a sore neck due to whiplash, the physical therapist will likely start you off with passive exercises. In these, you do not have to actively participate. These are effective until a certain amount of healing is done and pain becomes more manageable. Deep tissue massage is a good example of an effective passive therapy for a neck injury.
