Whiplash & Post-Traumatic Neck Pain Treatment
Persistent neck pain after a motor vehicle collision or a fall.
Overview
What Whiplash & Post-Traumatic Neck Pain Actually Is
Whiplash injures facet capsules and ligaments that do not show up well on standard imaging, which is why patients are often told nothing is wrong while remaining in real pain. Ultrasound and diagnostic blocks identify the injured structures so they can be treated directly.
Symptoms patients describe
- Neck pain and stiffness starting within days of an accident
- Headaches at the base of the skull
- Difficulty checking blind spots
- Fatigue and poor concentration alongside the pain
Diagnosis
How It's Confirmed Here
- 01
Hands-on exam
Each structure is loaded separately so the source is narrowed before any imaging is ordered.
- 02
Imaging review
Your existing films are reviewed independently by Dr. Hyzy — not just the outside report.
- 03
In-room ultrasound
Dynamic imaging while you move, so tissue quality and behavior are seen live.
- 04
Diagnostic guided injection
When more than one structure could be responsible, a targeted block confirms which one is.

FAQs
Whiplash & Post-Traumatic Neck Pain — Questions Patients Ask
My imaging was normal — why am I still in pain?
Ligament and capsular injury is frequently invisible on standard films. Normal imaging is not the same as no injury.
