Whiplash is one of the most common – and most misunderstood – injuries treated at Bomberg Chiropractic. You don’t need to be in a high-speed rollover to suffer from it; even a minor fender bender at 10 mph can whip your head backward and forward with enough force to tear delicate ligaments and muscles in your neck.
Many patients walk away from a crash feeling "fine," only to wake up days or weeks later with debilitating stiffness, headaches, or dizziness. Based in Plymouth, Dr. Tom Bomberg helps Twin Cities patients catch these injuries early, preventing scar tissue from forming and ensuring a full recovery without relying on painkillers.
It is common for accident victims to go to the ER, get a clean X-ray or MRI, and be sent home with muscle relaxers – yet they still hurt.
Why? Standard imaging is great for seeing broken bones, but it often misses micro-tears in the soft tissue (ligaments and fascia).
Dr. Bomberg uses specialized Motion Palpation diagnostics. By feeling how your joints move and testing the tension in your tissues by hand, he can identify the subtle sprains and adhesions that machines miss. This hands-on assessment ensures we treat the actual source of your pain, not just the symptoms.
Adrenaline often masks pain immediately after a car accident. Symptoms of whiplash may not appear for 24 to 48 hours, or even weeks later.
Be on the lookout for:
When your neck has been traumatized, the last thing you want is aggressive treatment. Dr. Bomberg uses specific, low-force techniques and advanced chiropractic services to help you heal comfortably.
For acute whiplash patients, Dr. Bomberg often starts with the Activator instrument. This device delivers a gentle, precise impulse to realign vertebrae without any twisting or "cracking" of the neck. It is safe, painless, and highly effective for reducing inflammation in the early stages of healing.
Whiplash creates rapid scar tissue formation as the body tries to "glue" torn muscles back together. Dr. Bomberg uses the Graston technique (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization) to gently break down this scar tissue, ensuring your muscles heal with flexible, healthy fibers rather than stiff knots.
If your accident caused a herniated disc in your neck or lower back, Dr. Bomberg may use non-surgical spinal decompression to gently retract the disc and relieve pressure on pinched nerves.
One of the biggest reasons people delay care is fear of the cost. However, Minnesota is a no-fault state. This means that regardless of who caused the accident, your own auto insurance policy includes Personal Injury Protection (PIP) that covers your medical and chiropractic care.
