A collision on Turner McCall or Shorter Avenue can leave you with whiplash that doesn’t surface until day two. Get evaluated quickly at our Professional Court office in Floyd County — conservative, evidence-based care done right.
Yes — DT Chiropractic provides whiplash and car-accident neck-injury care in Rome, GA, from our office at 4 Professional Ct. Care is drug-free and non-surgical, with same- or next-day appointments and a bilingual (English & Spanish) team serving Floyd County and the surrounding area.
Whether you were rear-ended on Turner McCall Boulevard, clipped on Shorter Avenue, or jolted at a junction along Martha Berry Boulevard (US-27), a Rome-area collision can leave you with whiplash — a neck injury whose symptoms often don't surface until a day or two later. Our newest office, on Professional Court in Floyd County, evaluates injured patients on a same- or next-day basis.
Adrenaline masks pain at the scene, and the inflammatory response to a strained neck builds over the following 24 to 72 hours. That is why a Floyd County driver can decline help at the crash and then wake up stiff, headachy, and unable to turn their head. The delay is the rule with whiplash, not the exception — and it is exactly why an early evaluation matters for both your recovery and an accurate record of the injury.
Your visit begins with a thorough exam: range of motion, palpation of the cervical joints and muscles, and a neurological screen of the arms and hands, classified with the standard Quebec Task Force grading. Most accident necks are Grade I–II and respond well to early, active care. If something points beyond conservative treatment — nerve signs or a suspected fracture — we refer you for imaging or to the appropriate specialist. For anything severe, head to Atrium Health Floyd or Redmond Regional Medical Center first.
The evidence favors movement over rest for whiplash. We combine specific, comfortable adjustments with soft-tissue therapy and a graded return to activity, always at your pace — with low-force, no-twist options available. You will get simple home exercises to support recovery between visits. Read more on whiplash treatment and our car-accident care.
Because whiplash usually follows a wreck, we document your injuries and care thoroughly and coordinate with your attorney and auto insurer, so the medical side is handled while you focus on healing. If your neck pain is not from a collision, see our neck pain page.
We serve patients throughout Floyd County and the surrounding area — Armuchee, Lindale, Shannon, Silver Creek, Cave Spring, and Cedartown — with a bilingual team.
As soon as you can, ideally within a few days and once you have been cleared of anything serious. Whiplash often surfaces 24 to 72 hours after the crash, so an early visit starts care sooner and documents the injury accurately. We offer same- or next-day appointments on Professional Court.
Completely normal. Adrenaline blunts pain at the scene, and inflammation from a strained neck builds over the next day or two. Feeling fine at first and stiff later is the classic whiplash pattern — and a good reason to be evaluated promptly.
We use the standard Quebec Task Force system after a focused exam of your neck and nerves. Most injuries we see are Grade I–II — pain and stiffness with reduced motion — which respond well to early, active care. Higher grades get closer monitoring or a referral.
Yes. We document your findings, diagnosis, treatment, and progress thoroughly and provide detailed reports on request, coordinating directly with your attorney and auto insurer so the record stands on its own.
Yes. Once an exam confirms care is appropriate, we tailor everything to your comfort and can use low-force techniques with no twisting, which many patients prefer in the first days after a crash.
