What is the most common injury from an MVA?

Whiplash

Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden and forceful back-and-forth movement of the neck,. It commonly occurs in motor vehicle accidents, particularly rear-end collisions, but can also result from sports injuries, or falls. Symptoms of whiplash may include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, shoulder pain, dizziness, and tingling or numbness in the arms. In severe cases, individuals may experience memory problems, difficulty concentrating, and sleep disturbances.

 

What is the treatment for whiplash?

Treatment for whiplash typically involves rest, pain management, gentle exercises, and manual therapy to improve range of motion and strengthen neck muscles. Chiropractic can help by performing chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and prescribing thereupeutic exercises. 

In most cases, whiplash resolves within a few weeks to months, but some individuals may experience chronic pain or long-term complications. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for minimizing the impact of whiplash on a person's quality of life.
