Topeka KS Whiplash Therapy - Treatment
Whiplash and whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) can be exhibited as a range of injuries to the neck caused by or related to a sudden distortion of the neck called extension. Although it is commonly associated with rear-impact motor vehicle accidents, the injury can be sustained in many other ways, including falls from bicycles, stairs and stools, or even horses. It is one of the main injuries covered by car insurers. What You May Notice You may notice an immediate pain and aching, or nothing at all in the beginning stages. Whiplash can gradually invade your life with headaches, back and neck pain, memory loss and weakness in limbs. Mild to progressively severely disability has been reported. What It May Feel Like • Mild or intense neck pain What To Do X-rays, films, and other tests, such as CT scan, MRI scan, and electromyogram can be used to further define the exact causes of whiplash. The image and resolution produced by MRI is quite detailed and can detect tiny changes of structures within the body. You should immediately schedule an appointment with Spinal Relief Center of Kansas to see if you are a candidate for the NewLife Laser Therapy program.
During a whiplash episode, (above two frames), the head is thrown violently forwards and backwards creating an unnatural extension of the cervical vertebrae. Delicate vertebrae, ligaments and nerves in the neck (below), can be instantly damaged with resulting injuries appearing weeks, months, and sometimes years later.
