How we approach Whiplash for San Clemente patients

Whiplash sits within our Chiropractic Sports Medicine pillar at FRI. Rather than chasing symptoms, our team works to identify the underlying drivers — biomechanical, neuromuscular, metabolic, or systemic — and build a plan that resolves them. Patients from San Clemente get the same one-on-one care as Mission Viejo patients. The drive is usually 25–40 minutes.

ZIP 92672 is about 17 miles from the clinic at 26400 La Alameda, Suite 100, Mission Viejo 92691. The closest other cities in this service area are Dana Point (92629), Laguna Niguel (92677), Mission Viejo (92691).

What Whiplash usually looks like

Whiplash can leave neck pain, headache, dizziness, or arm symptoms days after a collision, even when imaging is unremarkable. The irritated tissues are often the upper cervical joints and the deep neck muscles.

How a visit for Whiplash is different

Early visits stay inside a comfortable range and screen for red flags. As irritability drops, we restore motion and neck control instead of forcing a full adjustment on day one.
