Whiplash symptoms can show up days later
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by the rapid back-and-forth motion of a car accident. The force can damage ligaments, discs, and joints in the cervical spine, and symptoms often don't appear for days. In Florida, you have 14 days to seek care after a crash. Early documentation matters for both your health and your claim.
Whiplash symptoms can appear days, even weeks, after a car accident. The rapid back-and-forth motion damages cervical ligaments, discs, and joints, but adrenaline masks the pain initially. Florida gives you 14 days to seek care after a crash to use your PIP benefits. Early evaluation and documentation matters for both your recovery and your insurance claim.
We perform a full cervical spine evaluation to see what the crash actually did to your neck.
Imaging shows us ligament damage, disc injury, and joint dysfunction that may not be visible on the surface.
Adjustments restore cervical alignment and reduce the joint dysfunction caused by whiplash.
Our treatment rooms are equipped for full injury evaluation, imaging review, and rehabilitation.
Corrective exercise rebuilds the cervical stability that whiplash damages.
Florida's 14-day PIP window means time matters. We evaluate and document whiplash injuries thoroughly.

- Neck pain and stiffness that appears 24 to 72 hours after the crash

How we evaluate it
We perform a full cervical spine evaluation, range of motion, joint function, ligament integrity, and review or take imaging to see what the crash actually did. Dr. Frank Berzanskis Jr. and Dr. Frank Berzanskis Sr. are both Trauma-Qualified, so your evaluation and documentation meet the standard courts and insurance companies expect.
