Neuromuscular Re-Education After a Whiplash Injury

If you've ever tweaked your ankle playing basketball, felt persistent shoulder pain from years of repetitive movement, or suffered a whiplash injury in a collision, you know that recovery involves more than just rest and ice. To restore optimal movement and prevent future problems, chiropractic care combined with neuromuscular re-education (NMR) can be a game-changer.

Why Does the Body Forget How to Move?

Following an injury, trauma, or overuse, the communication between your nervous system and muscles can become disrupted. To protect itself, the body may create compensatory movement patterns, avoiding certain motions to prevent pain. While this is a natural response, it often results in improper movement mechanics, leading to stiffness, weakness, and lingering pain, even after the initial injury has healed.
Rather than truly "forgetting" how to move, the body develops incorrect motor patterns, bypassing proper movement pathways—known as kinesthetic memory. Neuromuscular re-education focuses on retraining these pathways, restoring proper motion and function.
