Auto Injuries and Whiplash in Levittown
Understanding Auto Injuries and Whiplash
Auto accidents, even at low speeds, can cause a range of injuries — some obvious right away, others that may take hours or days to appear. One of the most common accident-related conditions is whiplash, a neck injury caused by the sudden, forceful back-and-forth movement of the head.
While whiplash is often associated with rear-end collisions, it can occur in any type of vehicle accident. Other common auto-related injuries include sprains, strains, back pain, shoulder injuries, and headaches — all of which can impact your ability to work, drive, and live comfortably.
What Causes Whiplash in Car Accidents
- Sudden deceleration or acceleration of the vehicle
- Rear-end or side-impact collisions
- Forceful turning or twisting of the neck during impact
- Poor headrest positioning during the accident
Signs and Symptoms of Whiplash and Auto Injuries
Some symptoms appear right after the accident, but others may develop gradually. Watch for:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Reduced range of motion in the neck
- Headaches, often starting at the base of the skull
- Pain or tenderness in the shoulders, upper back, or arms
- Tingling or numbness in the arms or hands
- Fatigue, dizziness, or difficulty concentrating
The Risks of Ignoring Accident-Related Pain
Many people dismiss their symptoms after a crash, hoping they’ll fade with time. However, untreated whiplash or other auto injuries can lead to:
- Chronic pain and stiffness
- Limited mobility in the neck and spine
- Persistent headaches or migraines
- Ongoing nerve irritation
- Long-term posture and alignment issues
Early evaluation helps ensure a more complete recovery and reduces the risk of complications.

I injured my back and the pain traveled to both of my thighs. When I first started going to Physiomove Physical Therapy I wasn’t able to sit for more than 5 minutes without feeling horrible pain. Jay and his assistant were wonderful. I was barely able to do any exercises my first day. They were so patient with me which made me feel extremely comfortable. The place is very clean. Everyone there is very professional and friendly. Today was my last day there so I will miss all of them and I would highly recommend Physiomove Physical Therapy to anyone in need.

My doctor referred me to PhysioMove for my frozen shoulder. I couldn’t move my hand above my waist in any direction, and trying to do things around the house was extremely painful. Jay and Karishma did a great job of carefully and gradually getting me back to full motion and strength, and explaining things as we went. And the atmosphere was friendly and fun. I highly recommend!
