Neck Pain/Whiplash
Neck pain may be caused by injury, overuse, birth defect, or insufficient strength. Whiplash occurs when the neck’s discs, ligaments, muscles, and/or nerve roots are damaged during injury. Whiplash may also be referred to as a neck sprain or strain. If you suffer from one or more of the following symptoms, Dr. Helm and our specialists can offer treatment to relieve your pain.
- Headaches

- Pain in the neck
- Pain in the shoulder, arm, hand
- Numbness
- Dizziness
- Inability to concentrate

With an exam and interventional techniques, we can determine if your neck pain is related to whiplash. Medications, physical therapy, and/or other treatments may be recommended. PCPMC Physical Therapy Program is one of the few programs in the country to use the Multiple Cervical Unit, a modality that is proven to be effective in the treatment of whiplash.
