Whiplash Injuries - Monach University Accident Research Center

Medical reports refer to whiplash as  "railway spine" . This term was used in the 19th century to describe the persistent  pain and other "subjective symptoms"  reported by railway passengers and personnel due to minor railway crashes. Similar injuries can result from all types of motor vehicle crashes, but the typical mechanism involves rear-end collisions. During a typical rear-end collision, the struck vehicle is subjected to a forceful forward acceleration. The occupant is pushed forward by the seat back and the head lags behind due to its inertia. The head is subjected to a swift rearward translational motion followed by an extension motion. At a later stage, the head and torso will be rebound forward and hit the seat belt, flexing the neck . The literature suggests that the most common injuries due to whiplash involve the zygapophyseal joints, the intervertebral discs, and the upper cervical ligaments. Other injuries may occur for example nerve damage

Advanced Diagnostic Testing

The Myovision Surface EMG is similar to an EKG for the heart. It uses a hand held instrument that are placed over the spinal muscles of the neck and back to identify the exact location of abnormal muscle activity. It allows us to see exactly where in the spine there is lack of or excessive function. Also it detects imbalances in the spine by illustrating the difference in the level of activity between the left and right side of your back. We then focus on restoring proper function to these areas so you can thrive again and live pain free. The test is painless, quick. and most importantly, it allows us to properly diagnose and treat the root cause of your problem. The DynaROM test is a combined ROM and muscle EMG. This test is crucial for traumatic injuries such as car accident injuries. It is the latest technology from Precision Biometrics and was developed within the last couple of years. It is causing a paradigm shift in how motor vehicle accidents are treated by insurers. With

A chiropractor treats the cause of pain. Chiropractic Doctor carefully examine the neck, they look for muscle imbalance, loss of motion, spasm, swelling, pinched nerves, and vertebrae that are out of position. Chiropractors break up adhesions that prevent the spine from moving properly. They also reposition the vertebrae to relieve pressure on the nerves, which often relieved the pain and spasm. They then carefully monitor the neck to make sure it heals properly. Remember, pain is your body’s way of asking for help, it is not the cause of your problem, only a symptom. While taking aspirin may help you “get by” for now, if you ignore the cause, just as with cancer, it can have more severe consequences later. The only way to be sure you will fully recover and not risk arthritis and degeneration later is to see an expert on the neck. Chiropractors have been safely and gently helping people get rid of neck pain for over 100 years. They have one of the highest long-term patient sat
