Whiplash Relief in Downtown Lebanon, Lebanon 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 Downtown Lebanon
A whiplash injury involves far more than just the neck - the sudden forward-and-back motion can strain the muscles, ligaments, and joints from the base of the skull down through the upper back. Treating only the most obvious pain point often misses part of the injury, which is why Dr. Wesley Stewart evaluates the whole cervical and upper-back region for every whiplash patient, a standard built over 29 years in practice.
Near Lebanon's historic Town Square, patients often describe whiplash injuries from collisions on the busier roads surrounding the square and the courthouse district.

- Headaches that intensify with neck movement
