WHIPLASH chiropractor in melbourne
A Whiplash Chiropractic Brain First Approach™ for Optimal Recovery & Regulation
Whiplash is a neurological injury, not just a neck strain.
Even at low speeds, whiplash can disrupt how the brain receives and processes information from the neck, eyes, balance system, and body. This disruption can lead to persistent pain, stiffness, dizziness, headaches, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating long after the initial injury.
A Brain First Approach™ focuses on restoring nervous system integration so the body can recover fully and safely.
WHIPLASH SYMPTOMS
Neck and upper body pain including stiffness reduced movement headaches migraines and shoulder or upper back discomfort.
Balance and sensory disturbances including dizziness unsteadiness and sensitivity to movement or noise.
Cognitive and neurological symptoms including brain fog difficulty concentrating and mental fatigue.
Nervous system dysregulation including poor recovery persistent fatigue and feeling unsettled or disconnected
When to see a Whiplash Chiropractor
Early care can improve recovery, but this approach is effective even months or years after injury.

This care may be suitable if you:
- Have ongoing neck pain or stiffness after an accident
- Experience headaches, dizziness, or fatigue
- Feel unstable or disconnected in your body
- Have not improved with rest or time alone
Why a Chiropractic Brain First Approach™ works
Whiplash disrupts sensory input from the neck to the brain.
The neck plays a critical role in balance, posture, eye coordination, and nervous system regulation.
When this input is altered:
- The brain struggles to integrate movement and position
- Muscles overprotect and compensate
- Pain and stiffness persist
- Balance and coordination can be affected.
A Brain First Approach ™ focuses on:
- Restoring neck brain communication
- Improving balance and eye movement integration
- Reducing nervous system overload
- Supporting regulation and recovery
This approach addresses the neurological drivers of symptoms, not just the pain.
