Neck Pain & Whiplash Treatment in Sterling Heights, MI
From desk-posture stiffness to post-collision whiplash, neck pain responds to skilled, graded treatment — not rest alone.
How we treat neck pain & whiplash
The neck recovers best with early, controlled movement. We combine manual therapy, graded strengthening of the deep neck stabilizers, and posture/workstation coaching. For whiplash after a car accident, we add objective range-of-motion testing at baseline and discharge, which documents your recovery for the no-fault claim while guiding treatment.

Common questions
Is it normal for whiplash pain to show up days after the crash?
Yes — whiplash symptoms commonly appear 24–72 hours after a collision as inflammation develops. That delay doesn't weaken your no-fault claim, but earlier evaluation means earlier recovery and cleaner documentation.
Will treatment make my neck pain worse at first?
Treatment soreness, similar to post-workout soreness, can occur in the first week and settles quickly. Sharp or radiating pain is never the goal — your therapist adjusts the plan the same visit.
Does Michigan auto insurance cover neck pain therapy?
Yes. If the pain stems from a motor vehicle accident, Michigan no-fault (PIP) benefits cover reasonably necessary physical therapy — with no visit cap and typically no out-of-pocket cost for the injured person.
