Auto Accident Protocol
After sustaining whiplash injuries, it’s common for people to suffer from chronic neck pain if untreated. At Vanguard Spine & Sport, we can detect certain factors in a patient’s history and exam to better determine whether a patient may be more susceptible to chronic pain from a whiplash injury.
Whiplash is a term that describes injury to the neck that occurs as a result of a motor vehicle or car accident. The most common type of car accident is the rear impact, and most typically, the occupant in the vehicle that gets “rear-ended” (hit from behind) is at the greatest risk of injury, including whiplash.
