Auto accident & whiplash care in Nashua.
After a crash, soreness often shows up a day or two later, and “walking it off” is how small injuries become long ones. Whiplash strains the neck’s joints, muscles, and ligaments faster than they can protect themselves. Dr. Herner examines what the impact actually did and treats it gently. Auto insurance is accepted.
After a crash, watch for these.
Symptoms often arrive 24 to 72 hours after the adrenaline wears off.
Neck pain and stiffness
Soreness or restricted motion turning the head, the classic whiplash pattern.
Headaches from the neck
Headaches that start at the base of the skull in the days after impact.
Shoulder, back, or arm symptoms
Aching, tingling, or numbness that spreads beyond the neck.
How Dr. Herner treats crash injuries.
Care starts as gentle as the injury requires, and progresses only at your pace.
Gentle, matched adjustments
From non-force techniques to traditional adjustments, matched to what your neck can comfortably handle.
Muscle and tissue therapy
Electric stimulation, ultrasound, and Graston to calm strained muscles and support healing tissue.
A documented plan
A clear exam record and treatment plan, the documentation that auto-injury claims typically need.
Common questions.
I feel okay after my accident. Should I still get checked?
Soreness commonly appears a day or two after a crash, once the adrenaline fades. A prompt exam catches strains early, when they are simplest to treat, and documents the injury while the details are fresh.
