Whiplash Treatment in Arlington, TX
Whiplash is the most common injury we see after a car accident, and one of the easiest to underestimate. The sudden back-and-forth motion of a collision strains the muscles, ligaments and joints of the neck, often at speeds as low as 10-15 mph. Many people feel fine at the scene and wake up stiff and sore a day or two later. At Heal 360 Rehab, Dr. Don Ringer, D.C. evaluates and treats whiplash injuries for patients across Arlington, Mansfield and Fort Worth with drug-free care designed to restore normal motion and prevent long-term problems.
Understanding Whiplash Injuries
Common Whiplash Symptoms
Neck pain and stiffness, especially when turning your head. Headaches that start at the base of the skull. Shoulder, upper-back or arm pain. Tingling or numbness in the arms or hands. Dizziness, fatigue or trouble concentrating. Jaw pain or ringing in the ears. Symptoms can show up hours or days after a crash, so get evaluated even if the pain seems minor. Early treatment also documents your injury for your claim.
How We Treat Whiplash at Heal 360 Rehab
Every plan starts with a thorough exam and injury history, then usually combines: Chiropractic adjustments to restore normal joint motion in the neck and upper back. StemWave therapy to support soft-tissue healing in strained muscles and ligaments. Trigger point therapy and myofascial release to calm muscle spasm and guarding. E-stim and therapeutic ultrasound to reduce pain and inflammation. Rehabilitation exercises to rebuild neck strength and stability so the injury doesn't become chronic.
Why Early Whiplash Care Matters
Untreated whiplash can turn into chronic neck pain, recurring headaches and reduced range of motion. Seeing a chiropractor soon after an accident helps identify injuries that don't hurt right away, start care while soft tissue is still healing, and create clear medical documentation for insurance and attorneys.

Whiplash Treatment FAQs
Should I see a chiropractor for whiplash even if I feel fine?
Yes. Whiplash symptoms often appear 24-72 hours after a crash. An early exam can catch injuries before they worsen and documents them for your claim.
Is chiropractic care safe for whiplash?
Dr. Ringer uses gentle, targeted techniques suited to injured tissue, and every plan starts with a full evaluation. If your exam shows anything that needs imaging or a medical specialist, we'll refer you.
Who pays for whiplash treatment after a car accident in Texas?
​Care is often covered by your PIP coverage, the at-fault driver's insurance through a letter of protection, or your health insurance. Our team will help you understand your options at your first visit.
Whiplash and Other Car Accident Injuries in Arlington, TX
Whiplash rarely happens alone. The same crash forces that strain the neck can also injure the mid and lower back, jar the shoulders and trigger headaches. At your first visit, Dr. Ringer checks the whole spine so nothing is missed and every injury is documented for your claim.
