Why the Upper Neck Matters for Whiplash
The sudden back-and-forth motion of whiplash frequently affects the atlas and axis, the two vertebrae directly beneath the skull, even when the rest of the neck looks normal on a scan.
Upper cervical care is a gentle, precise correction, no cracking, popping, or twisting, aimed at restoring alignment in this area so the nervous system can recover. Every doctor in this directory has confirmed, specifically, that they treat whiplash — this isn’t a generic category list.
