About
On this blog you will find information about treatment options, phramaceuticals and insurance issues relating to whiplash (neck) injuries.
Whiplash is the common name for neck injuries, such as those caused by hyper extension/flexion injury to the cervical, thoracic or lumbar spines. The injury is referred to as “whiplash” due to the neck or back being thrown forwards and/or backwards at a rapid speed. This may cause the fibres of the neck muscles to tear, resulting in pain and often a decreased range of movement.
Whiplash is commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents, usually when the vehicle has been hit in the rear but the injury can be sustained in many other ways, including falls from bicycles or horses.
For more information on the definition of whiplash injury see the Wikipedia article on whiplash medical term.
