At Body Flex Physio & Rehab Clinic, we provide comprehensive whiplash treatment in Mississauga designed to reduce pain, restore neck mobility, improve function, and support long-term recovery.

Our experienced physiotherapists create personalized rehabilitation programs based on the severity of your injury, symptoms, and recovery goals.

What Is Whiplash?

Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when the head is suddenly forced backward and forward, causing excessive strain on the muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, and soft tissues of the neck.

This rapid movement commonly occurs during rear-end collisions but can also happen during sports injuries, falls, workplace accidents, and other traumatic events.

Without proper treatment, whiplash can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, headaches, reduced mobility, and ongoing functional limitations.
