Whiplash
What is Whiplash -Associated Disorder (WAD) known as ”Whiplash”?
“Whiplash” is a generic term applied to certain injuries of the neck.
Neck injuries, that occurs when the neck is suddenly and/ or violently jolted, in one direction and then another causing a Whiplash-like movement.
“Whiplash“(WAD) is most commonly seen in people involved in motor vehicle accidents, but it can also occur from falls, sports injuries, work injuries, and other incidents. Most Whiplash injuries are associated with forward and backward movement of the head and neck on the shoulders. Side-impact crashes, or crashes when that happen while a person’s head is turned, may result in side-to-side or even oblique Whiplash-style injuries to the neck. Although severe Whiplash injuries can result in paralysis and even death, most such injuries range from relatively mild to moderate. Keep in mind that even mild injuries may have a significant effect on the spine and your health.
“Whiplash“(WAD) injuries and symptoms are varied and numerous. The average head weighs 12lbs- because of the way the neck supports the head, which in turn pivots and rotates upon the neck, the neck is under immense stress in normal daily activities. Chiropractors Coventry are well-versed in treating Whiplash and its related symptoms.
