Non-Surgical Recovery.
Whiplash Treatment in Fort Myers and Lehigh Acres.
Whiplash, cervical strain, and soft tissue injuries cause neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and dizziness that linger for months if untreated. Novaré Injury Care and Rehab provides non-surgical whiplash treatment in Fort Myers and Lehigh Acres through chiropractic care, cervical manual therapy, and Class IV laser therapy designed to restore cervical range of motion and reduce inflammation.
What Is the Best Chiropractic Treatment for Whiplash?
Whiplash responds best to a combination of chiropractic adjustments, cervical manual therapy, and soft tissue work that restores range of motion and reduces inflammation. When disc involvement is suspected, cervical decompression and Class IV laser therapy accelerate healing at the tissue level.
Early care within the first two weeks, ideally as part of a chiropractic treatment plan, produces significantly better outcomes than delayed treatment. Symptoms we address:
- Neck pain and stiffness after a collision
- Headaches originating from the base of the skull
- Dizziness and difficulty concentrating
- Shoulder and upper back pain
- Numbness or tingling in the arms and hands
- Jaw pain and TMJ symptoms post-impact
- Reduced range of motion in the cervical spine
The 14-Day Window. Don't Wait.
Florida's PIP statute requires you to see a qualifying provider within 14 days of your accident. Delayed treatment also leads to worse outcomes. Our chiropractor, Dr. Ivan Bracic, DC, examines and documents your injuries so care can begin right away.
Same-Day Appointments
We offer same-day and next-day appointments so you can get examined and documented before the 14-day PIP deadline runs out.
Imaging Before Adjusting
Every accident patient gets digital x-rays on the first visit. We don't adjust the cervical spine without imaging first. Period.
Legal-Grade Documentation
We record collision details, neurological findings, and treatment progression with objective measurements. Dr. Bracic has supported over 10,000 legal cases.
Full PIP Access
Your $10,000 in PIP benefits requires an EMC determination from a qualifying provider. We have physician oversight to provide that.
