Whiplash is a common neck injury caused by sudden acceleration-deceleration forces, most often from car accidents, sports collisions, or falls. It can result in neck pain, headaches, stiffness, dizziness, and reduced range of motion. Left untreated, whiplash may lead to long-term spinal dysfunction and chronic pain.
At Epstein Chiropractors in St Ives, we use Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) to address the structural causes of whiplash injuries. Our approach focuses on restoring proper spinal alignment, reducing symptoms, and preventing long-term complications.
Whiplash often disrupts the natural cervical curve, strains ligaments, and irritates nerves. Correcting these structural changes is critical for lasting recovery and improved function.

At Epstein Chiropractors in St Ives, we use a structural rehabilitation approach with Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) for whiplash recovery.
Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment, including digital X-rays to measure postural changes and structural damage. Using this information, Dr. Michael Epstein creates a personalized plan to restore spinal alignment and function.
This method addresses both the symptoms and the underlying biomechanical changes caused by whiplash, supporting long-term healing.
Whiplash often results in a loss of the natural cervical lordosis, ligament strain, and joint dysfunction. Without correction, these structural changes can:
– Increase tension in neck and shoulder muscles
– Irritate cervical nerves
– Restrict movement and flexibility
– Contribute to chronic pain and headaches
Research shows that restoring spinal alignment with CBP® techniques can improve pain, mobility, and posture, reducing the risk of persistent whiplash-associated disorders.
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by sudden movement of the head, often from rear-end car accidents or falls, leading to pain, stiffness, and other symptoms.
CBP® restores spinal alignment using targeted adjustments, traction, and exercises, helping to re-establish the natural cervical curve and reduce pain.
Yes. CBP® is a research-based, non-invasive chiropractic technique performed by trained professionals, tailored to each patient’s spinal structure.
It’s best to seek evaluation as soon as possible after an injury to prevent chronic complications and support effective recovery.
Sessions may include mirror-image spinal adjustments, cervical traction, rehabilitative exercises, and posture guidance to restore alignment and improve function.
