Whiplash Specialist Near Twin Cities, MN

Neurological Whiplash Treatment in Edina, MN

The accident was months ago. The neck pain has improved, but the headaches, dizziness, brain fog, and visual symptoms haven’t. You’ve been told it’s just soft tissue injury and it will heal on its own. But whiplash can cause neurological dysfunction that persists long after the structural injury heals.

— OBJECTIVE EVALUATION

What We Test & Measure

Before recommending any treatment, we conduct a comprehensive objective evaluation specific to whiplash. Every test is chosen because it measures something relevant to your symptoms.

  • Neck structure and function: how the injury changed your neck
  • Balance and inner ear (VNG): how your neck affects your balance
  • Eye movement: how your eyes and neck work together
  • Autonomic function: heart rate and blood pressure regulation
— THE GAP IN STANDARD CARE

What Standard Care Misses

Standard medical care is excellent at ruling out catastrophic disease. But it often misses the functional neurological causes of persistent symptoms. Here’s what we find that others don’t:

  • How the neck injury is affecting your balance
  • Eye movement problems linked to the neck
  • Autonomic symptoms after the accident

Dr. Maesaka is outstanding. From day one, he was welcoming, knowledgeable, and truly invested in my recovery. Over six weeks, he helped me heal from a concussion and chronic migraines after a car accident. Thanks to his care, I’m now completely migraine-free. I highly recommend him to anyone needing neurologic or concussion treatment.

— COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Whiplash can disrupt the cervical proprioceptive system, the vestibular system, and the autonomic nervous system — causing dizziness, headaches, visual symptoms, brain fog, and fatigue that persist long after the structural injury heals.
Structural whiplash symptoms often resolve within weeks. Neurological symptoms — dizziness, headaches, brain fog — can persist for months or years if the underlying neurological dysfunction isn’t identified and treated.
Cervicogenic dizziness is dizziness caused by dysfunction in the cervical spine. The neck sends proprioceptive signals to the brain that are essential for balance. When those signals are disrupted by whiplash, dizziness results.
Yes. We accept auto insurance for whiplash and accident-related injuries. Contact us to discuss your specific coverage.
Earlier is better. Neurological dysfunction identified and treated early tends to resolve more completely. However, we regularly help patients who come to us months or years after their accident.
