Being involved in a car accident—even at low speeds—can lead to serious injury. One of the most common conditions we treat after auto collisions is whiplash: a soft-tissue injury that affects the neck and surrounding structures. At Maplewood Wellness in Coral Springs, FL, our team specializes in gentle, effective whiplash care to support your recovery, reduce pain, and restore mobility.
Whiplash is a type of neck injury caused by sudden, forceful back-and-forth movement of the head and neck—like the cracking of a whip. This abrupt motion commonly occurs in rear-end auto accidents, but can also result from sports injuries, falls, or other trauma.
Whiplash primarily affects:
Muscles
Ligaments
Discs
Joints in the neck and upper spine
This rapid, unnatural movement can lead to inflammation, soft-tissue strain, reduced range of motion, and nerve irritation.
Symptoms may appear immediately after an accident or develop over the next 24–72 hours. Typical signs include:
Neck pain or stiffness
Headaches (often starting at the base of the skull)
Shoulder pain
Reduced neck mobility
Tingling, numbness, or weakness in arms
Dizziness or fatigue
Muscle tightness
Every person responds differently to trauma—some symptoms may be subtle initially but worsen over time if untreated.
Delaying care can allow scar tissue to form, muscles to weaken, and compensatory movement patterns to develop—leading to chronic pain or ongoing dysfunction. Early whiplash care improves outcomes by:
Reducing inflammation
Preventing long-term stiffness and scar tissue
Supporting healthy movement patterns
Alleviating nerve irritation
Improving healing speed and comfort
At Maplewood Wellness, we focus on finding the root cause of your pain—not just masking symptoms.
Our whiplash care is personalized and evidence-based, combining gentle spinal care with supportive therapies to help your body heal naturally. Treatment options may include:
Realigning the vertebrae can relieve pressure on muscles and nerves while improving mobility.
Targeted work on tight muscles and ligaments helps reduce pain and improve range of motion.
Strengthening and stabilization exercises support long-term healing and help prevent future injury.
We may incorporate therapies such as:
Therapeutic ultrasound
Electrical muscle stimulation
Photo Bio Modulation (light therapy)
These can help reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue repair.
Auto injuries often change how your body moves and holds itself. We help you build healthier habits for long-term comfort.
During your initial whiplash evaluation, we take time to understand:
Your accident details
Onset and progression of symptoms
Range of motion and functional limitations
We may use:
Health history review
Movement exams
Orthopedic and neurological testing
Once we’ve identified your needs, we’ll create a customized care plan focused on results and recovery goals.
Maplewood Wellness works with many types of insurance. Our office can counsel you on how to file a personal injury claim, or you can review our insurance information page for more details.
Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage is mandatory for nearly all auto insurance policies. With PIP coverage in place, you and all the passengers in the car are insured regardless of who is at fault for an accident (typically up to $15,000). It also covers you if you are a pedestrian or a cyclist. PIP insurance covers medical expenses and lost wages and will pay for your care of injuries, including costs and co-pays for chiropractic care, out-of-pocket prescription costs, or other similar costs.
At Maplewood Wellness, we combine compassionate care with proven techniques to help you recover from auto accident injuries, including whiplash. Our Coral Springs team takes a holistic approach—addressing pain, restoring function, and helping you get back to life with confidence.
If you’ve been injured in an auto accident or are experiencing neck pain after a collision, don’t wait. Early care can make a significant difference. Call (954) 970 – 9355 to schedule an appointment.
Mild cases may improve, but without proper care, soft-tissue injury and misalignment can persist or worsen. Early intervention enhances recovery outcomes.
Recovery varies. Some patients improve within weeks, while others may require longer care depending on injury severity and individual response to treatment.
No. Our approach focuses on gentle, comfortable care tailored to individual tolerance levels.
Our Care
I have been and still a patient at Maplewood Wellness Center, my whole feeling and recovery is wonderful, I am having a great time much better than before I started my therapy (Adjustments well done) Doctor Feiler and his staff are very nice and caring, their center is clean and the protocol are always followed. Check Maplewood Wellness Center out👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This is the best Chiro Office I’ve been to. My first visit was awesome. Dr. Jeffrey took his time learning my history, he thoroughly explained my treatment As well as how the body functions go hand in hand with the spine. I left my 1st visit feeling great. I was able to raise my leg after one adjustment. Dr. Jeffrey his staff Diamond & Adam are always pleasant. They have great rapport with their pts. They’re now my heath care family and I will recommend anyone who needs care. 5 stars is not enough.
Very good am please with everyone good job!
My husband and I have been coming year since the beginning of the year and have had an amazing experience every time! We both used the Groupon for a our first visits as well. Dr. Feiler is amazing and so caring of each of his patients. He definitely knows what he’s doing and I would recommend anyone to him. My husband and I have both had very different amounts of back pain the last few years and the Dr. has really helped us both tremendously! We go about every 2 weeks and every time we come in we’re greeted so warmly by their amazing assistant Diamond! Overall great staff and a great place to go!
I came in 3 weeks ago with lower back pain and I could barely move. He listened to me did an X-ray and then I have come in twice a week following his instructions. My pain is almost gone and I can move without wincing. Thank you Dr. Feiler!!
Absolutely love Dr. Feiler and recommend acupuncture and chiropractic. Great office. Thank you for your excellent care!
Came here to help with my flatfeet and i have to say Dr. Feiler knows what he’s doing, and it goes past just getting an adjustment this will be a lifestyle change that gets you to come back weekly. Scheduling is easy as his receptionist (Diamond) is kind and will do her best to help you with an appointment time that you desire.
Doctors and staff are great. They are very caring for their patients. They have helped me recover from my previous back injuries.
Wonderful!
Dr. Feiler is so great he’s really helped with my chronic migraines and neck pain! The reception staff are also so friendly and it’s a very welcoming environment from everyone in the office. They really work with you with scheduling and fitting in patients and are always smiling and kind!
