Whiplash Relief in Blackman, Murfreesboro TN
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a rapid back-and-forth motion of the head, most often from a car accident, that strains the neck's muscles and ligaments. Symptoms don't always show up immediately, which is why an evaluation soon after any collision matters even if you feel fine at first.
Treating Whiplash in Blackman
Whiplash doesn't always announce itself right away - many patients feel fine immediately after a car accident, only to wake up the next morning with a stiff, aching neck that barely turns. That delayed onset is exactly why an evaluation soon after any collision matters, even when nothing feels wrong at first. Dr. Wesley Stewart has spent 29 years in Murfreesboro treating whiplash early, before minor strain has a chance to become a chronic problem.
In the Blackman community on Murfreesboro's growing west side, busy commuter routes along Rock Springs Road mean a steady stream of rear-end and intersection collisions - and the whiplash injuries that come with them.
