Whiplash Care for Seniors in Cool Springs, Franklin 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.

Age-related disc degeneration, arthritis, and reduced mobility make older adults more susceptible to chronic back pain, balance issues, and slower recovery from falls.
