Whiplash-Associated Disorder (WAD) Physiotherapy
Have you experienced neck pain, stiffness, headaches, or dizziness after a road traffic accident or sudden jerking injury? Do you feel shoulder tightness or difficulty turning your neck? Are you searching for a βphysiotherapist near meβ for post-accident neck pain? These symptoms may indicate Whiplash-Associated Disorder.
Whiplash-associated disorder occurs when the neck is forcefully thrown forward and backward, commonly during car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. This sudden movement strains neck muscles, ligaments, joints, and sometimes nerves, leading to pain, reduced mobility, muscle spasm, fatigue, and poor posture if not treated early.
Physiotherapy is essential for safe and complete recovery from WAD. Treatment focuses on pain relief, reducing muscle spasm, restoring neck mobility, improving posture, and strengthening deep neck and shoulder stabilizing muscles. Controlled exercises, manual therapy, and gradual functional training help prevent chronic neck pain and long-term stiffness.
At Home, maintain proper neck posture, avoid prolonged phone or laptop use, apply ice or heat as advised, perform gentle neck movements, and follow ergonomic sleeping positions. Avoid sudden or forceful neck movements.
For reliable and effective care, Dr. Deepika Bansal β Physiotherapist in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar provides personalised whiplash rehabilitation to help you regain comfort, strength, and confidence.
