    Whiplash

    Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden, rapid back-and-forth movement of the head — most commonly in a rear-end collision. It causes soft tissue damage to the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck, leading to pain, stiffness, headaches, and sometimes arm symptoms. Many people find that whiplash symptoms linger long after the initial injury. Virginia uses ASMI to gently restore neck movement, reduce muscle spasm, and support recovery — at a pace that feels safe.

    How ASMI works

    What you might notice

    • Neck pain and stiffness, often worse the day after the injury
    • Headaches from the base of the skull
    • Reduced range of neck movement
    • Shoulder pain or arm tingling
    • Dizziness or difficulty concentrating

    How Virginia can help

    • ASMI gently mobilises the cervical spine without aggravating injured tissues
    • Reduces muscle spasm and guarding that limits movement
    • A phased recovery plan progresses at a pace you're comfortable with
    • Virginia takes a detailed history of your accident and any treatment already received
    • Works alongside any medical or physiotherapy care you're already receiving

    Frequently asked questions

    How soon after a whiplash injury can I start treatment?
    After any road accident, you should see a doctor first to rule out fractures or serious injury. Once cleared, gentle spinal therapy can usually begin within 1–2 weeks. Starting too early (within the first few days) can sometimes aggravate acutely inflamed tissues.
    My whiplash injury was years ago. Is it still worth treating?
    Yes. Chronic whiplash — where symptoms persist long after the original injury — can still respond well to spinal therapy. The approach is adapted for older injuries, which are often about tight scar tissue and muscle guarding rather than acute inflammation.
    Can I claim for this on my car insurance or personal injury claim?
    Treatment costs may be recoverable as part of a personal injury claim. Virginia can provide a record of your sessions and treatment plan if required. Speak to your solicitor about the specifics of your claim.
