Are you suffering from a Whiplash injury? Whiplash is a type of injury that is often sustained during a car accident or a sudden movement of the head whipping back and forth. This trauma can cause damage to the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the neck.

Chiropractors are experts in treating whiplash injuries and can help to relieve pain and restore mobility to the neck. Chiropractic care typically involves spinal manipulation and other manual therapies to help relieve pain and tension in the neck.
Massage therapy, ice/heat therapy, and acupuncture may also be used to help reduce inflammation and promote healing. In some cases, chiropractors may also recommend exercises or stretch to help improve range of motion and strength.
Our chiropractic team in Valley is very experienced in helping patients deal with Whiplash injuries and getting on the path to recovery.
What is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a common injury that can occur from a car accident, sports injury, or other sudden movements. This happens when the head is quickly twisted or bent backward and creates a strain on the neck. When this happens, your spine can be stretched or compressed and can result in damage to your ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
These events can also cause small (or large) misalignments in your spine, which is referred to as a subluxation. Subluxations can put pressure on your nerves and cause pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and muscle spasms.
At our family chiropractic office in Valley, we offer comprehensive care following car accidents or other traumas to relieve symptoms from Whiplash injuries.
Common Causes of Whiplash Injuries
Whiplash can be caused by any event that puts an unordinary strain on the neck.
The risk of whiplash increases with age. People who do physically demanding work such as athletes, construction workers, mechanics, military personnel, etc., are all at a greater risk of getting this type of injury. Being involved in an accident that involves car crashes or other high-speed collisions is also a major risk factor
It is estimated that 1/3 of all car accidents involve whiplash injuries. According to some studies, as many as 90% of all individuals involved in car accidents have some type of neck pain after an accident. Certain factors can increase the risk for whiplash.
Symptoms of Whiplash Injuries
As a result of whiplash, many people experience headaches and migraines that can be difficult to treat. Whiplash also causes problems with your range of motion in the neck and shoulder area causing stiffness and discomfort.
Other whiplash symptoms include:
Pain
Stiffness
Muscle spasms
Headaches
Irritability
Upper backaches
Fatigue
Lack of sleep
Reduced range of motion around the neck

I went to Dr. Padgett for relief and he helped me understand what was going on. He takes Xrays on your first visit and then he reviews them and explains them your next visit. Shannon and Lexi were the sweetest with me and my daughter. They answered every question and explained everything that was going on. Letting me know how things work and what to expect. I truly recommend this office.
I have been going to Valley Chiropractic and Dr. Padgett for about 2 weeks now and I am very impressed with the results so far. The staff is super friendly and nice. They make you feel so welcomed. I would highly recommend Valley Chiropractic to anyone who is looking for a chiropractor. 10 out of 5 Stars!!!!
Dr Padgett and his staff are awesome. They really listened to my problem and treated me accordingly. No cookie cutter treatment here. Every one is treated special.<br>Thank you all.
This was my first visit, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The office gives luxury vibes, yet still feels warm and welcoming—one of those places that makes you forget you’re in a small town the moment you walk in. The staff isn’t just professional; they’re genuinely friendly and personable, and they truly live out their motto through their interactions. I’ve never received local care that followed up after a visit just to check on me, and that alone meant a lot. The technology is impressive, the service is welcoming, and the care is truly top tier.<br><br>But of course, this is a chiropractic office—so let’s talk results. I was in an accident ten years ago and, due to pregnancy at the time, I wasn’t able to receive much treatment because of potential risks to my baby (who is healthy and unharmed 🙏🏾). The front and rear impacts shifted my pelvis, leaving one hip higher than the other. Walking or standing for long periods has been painful, and I’ve also dealt with ongoing neck and shoulder pain, headaches, and insomnia as a result.<br><br>After just one visit, I feel a noticeable difference in all my problem areas. Even more surprising, I feel deeply relaxed—and for the first time in months, I’m actually heading to bed at 8 p.m. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to fall asleep before 1 a.m., so this is huge for me.<br><br>Thank you so much to Dr. Padgett and the entire staff. I truly appreciate the care and attention you provide.<br><br>If you’re looking for top-notch chiropractic care close to home, this place is a gem. I even recorded a video but didn’t see an option to upload it here.<br><br>This place is EVERYTHING.
My first time visiting. Dr. Padgett was caring, thorough, and patient. I feel confident, that with the treatment options in office, will be a great addition to my chiropractic care. I truly felt seen and cared for, instead of a time slot. I look forward to returning for my personailized treatment plan.
Dr Chris Padgett is your first place to go for healing the overused body! I highly recommend seeing him if you suffer from fibromyalgia and arthritis. Oh the relief that comes from having your body adjusted . Never have to wait more than 15 mins, the staff is very nice.
Dr Chris has been working with me regularly to get my back/sciatic pain under control and it’s made a huge difference! The staff are friendly, the office is welcoming, and they’ll have you in and out in no time. Highly recommend!
I’m not sure if visiting a chiropractor will help my issues, but I would never go to another one. Dr. Padgett made me feel very secure and safe and explained everything that he was gonna do. He didn’t even make me feel silly for being so nervous if you’ve been on the fence about seeing a chiropractor, I wholeheartedly recommend going to Valley chiropractic. His whole team that was there today was just so nice.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Padgett & his staff! He was so patient with me & very thorough. I felt heard & understood. I look forward to many more visits at this facility.
I have been using Valley Chiropractic for a long time when my old back injuries flare up. The staff and Dr. Padgett are the best. I would highly recommend them.
I’ve never been to a chiropractor a day in my life, until I found out about them! All i can say is this group of people are top tier! The convenience of walk in’s with no appointment was awesome! Got me in and out within no time and i felt welcomed/ well cared for throughout the whole process! I highly recommend Valley Chiropractic! Keep up the great work!

Dr Chris and all his staff are friendly and professional. I have enjoyed coming to the office and being treated for me needs and being able to tell the difference after a treatment.
Dr Chris is the best!!<br>I can't go as much as I used to due to health problems but when I do go, I come out feeling much better.<br>He doesn't leave you in the waiting room more than 5 minutes or so.<br>He gets you right in. Hardly have time to sit down.<br>He and his staff are always nice and smiling.<br>I highly recommend anyone who is in pain... Go see Dr Chris and stop living in pain!!
Valley Chiropractic is by far the best in the area. Dr. Chris and his staff are fantastic, they know me by name, and truly care about getting you better.
Kind and caring and attentive, Chris and Kyle and Katie took great care of my wife who has been flat on the floor for nearly two weeks. After 3 visits there’s been such great improvement and new hope for healing! Love these guys!
Due to continuous back problems I ve seen other chiropractors through the years. Dr. Padgett has helped my problem more than any I I ve seen. I recommend him highly.
Dr Padgett and his team are the absolute best! When you walk into his office you’re immediately greeted and they’re always so kind. I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Padgett, I have been seeing him on and off for years and every single time I am there he is always so kind and shows so much concern and compassion! Hands down the best there is!! Shannon Walker
They are like going to see your family. They are super friendly and the wait time is only a few minutes. Plus the doctor takes the time, every time to greet you and have a conversation to see what if any issues or questions you might have. I highly recommend Valley Chiropractor for everyone looking for a great chiropractor!
Always enjoy my visits with such an awesome group of people. The staff is so friendly, concerned and supportive of their patients. Dr. Chris is an amazing chiropractor. I always feel so much better after my adjustment. Love you all ❤️
My mom suffered from dementia so unfortunately only got to see Dr Padgett once but I can say he was awesome. Super friendly with mom. Very patient. Explained everything. His staff was very nice as well. I would highly recommend.
