Long Term Consequences of Whiplash

• In one of the largest (and longest duration, looking at the injured 17 years after their accident) research studies ever performed on whiplash injured patients, it was found that 55% of the accident victims were still suffering for pain caused by the original trauma. (Accident Analysis and Prevention, 2002)

The consequences of not receiving treatment for injuries sustained in a car accident can potentially follow you the rest of your life. I love this video, which shows a neck over time and the degenerative process. 

Please do not wait to receive care for your whiplash injuries. The sooner we can start a treatment program the easier it is for the body to heal.
