The Thrive Difference
Empowering Patient Education
Your provider will evaluate where you’re feeling pain and explain how even low-speed accidents impact the spine. Then they’ll give you their recommended treatment plan.
Whole-Body, Root-Cause Approach
Whiplash rarely stays in the neck. We evaluate how it influences your posture, movement, and nervous system to treat the ripple effects—not just the primary injury.
Personalized Care
Your body’s reaction is unique, and we listen for those details. From the first visit on, we adjust your care to match your symptoms, your comfort level, and your progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our team has medically reviewed these answers.
If you’ve been in an auto accident or involved in an acute, high-impact injury, your neck pain may manifest as whiplash. It’s important to know that whiplash isn’t always immediate. Symptoms like stiffness, radiating headaches, or brain fog might not show up until days after an accident. Our whiplash chiropractor in Jacksonville can assess how your neck is moving, check for joint or nerve tension, and pinpoint signs you might miss. That way, you get care that doesn’t wait for symptoms to get worse.
Not always, but sometimes, yes. If your exam points to nerve involvement or structural concerns, your Thrive provider may recommend X-rays to fully understand what’s happening in your neck and spine. Our whiplash chiropractor in Jacksonville takes a thorough, practical approach so every treatment matches your unique needs. From the first scan to your ongoing care, we keep you informed every step of the way.
Even low-speed collisions can lead to whiplash, especially if your head snapped forward or back suddenly. In fact, it only takes being hit at 8 miles an hour to cause structural damage. Pain isn’t the only indicator—limited range of motion, fatigue, or tension might be subtle signs that something’s off. Our whiplash chiropractor in Jacksonville can help assess the damage early and develop an effective recovery plan. Our car accident care process puts your long-term healing first.
