paul zemella on 29 Apr 14The winter is truly here to stay for a while and with it comes snow and ice which leads to an increase in car accidents. Chiropractic offices are flooded with car accident cases of whiplash, headaches, and low back pain. Whiplash is the most common injury sustained in a rear end collision because of the forces placed on the cervical spine at the point of impact and the following seconds. Whiplash describes a cervical sprain/strain that occurs when the head and neck are forced into rapid extension from the initial rear impact followed by rapid recoil into flexion.
