Why a Thorough Evaluation Matters
Whiplash is a soft-tissue injury of the neck that can cause pain or stiffness after an accident. Symptoms and needs vary, which is why Dr. Galante begins by listening carefully and performing a hands-on evaluation rather than assuming every patient needs the same plan.
He considers how the crash happened, what you felt at the time and what has changed since. If additional testing or another provider is appropriate, he will explain that clearly.
Common Whiplash Symptoms After a Car Accident
Common concerns after a collision can include neck pain or stiffness, headaches, reduced range of motion, and discomfort through the shoulders or upper back. Symptoms may appear immediately or develop later. Because every accident and patient is different, Dr. Galante begins with an individualized evaluation and recommends another provider when a different type of care should come first.
