Understanding Your Injury
During a rear-end or side-impact collision, the head is forced forward and backward (or sideways) at high speed, stretching the cervical muscles, ligaments, and tendons well beyond their normal range. This rapid whip-like motion - called whiplash - strains the soft tissue of the cervical spine, can irritate or compress nerve roots, and in more severe cases causes disc herniation between the C4-C5, C5-C6, or C6-C7 vertebrae. Because the muscles and ligaments are swollen rather than broken, standard X-rays often look normal even when the injury is significant. This is why early physical therapy evaluation is essential - it documents soft tissue injuries that imaging alone may miss.

Common Questions
Yes. Dynamic Physical Therapy's Glendale clinic is about 12 miles from Arts District and specializes in post-accident neck pain. We accept personal injury medical liens with no upfront cost and can schedule a same-day evaluation.
With early physical therapy, most patients with acute cervical strain recover within 6 to 12 weeks. Untreated whiplash can become chronic, with studies showing that up to 50% of patients who do not receive early treatment still report symptoms one year later. Starting PT within 72 hours of the accident significantly improves recovery outcomes.
No. California allows direct access to physical therapy for up to 45 days without a physician referral. You can call our clinic the same day as your accident. We will coordinate with your treating physician and personal injury attorney throughout your care.
Whiplash is the mechanism of injury (the rapid back-and-forth motion of the head). Cervical strain is the resulting soft tissue injury - stretching or tearing of the cervical muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Both terms are often used interchangeably, and both are treated effectively with physical therapy and acupuncture.
