Neck whiplash<\/h1>\n

Whiplash is what we call an acceleration-deceleration injury and usually occurs with motor vehicle accidents but can also occur from being pushed in the back, during sports accidents or a fall. <\/p>\n

Grades of whiplash<\/b><\/p>\n

Whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) can be classified by the severity of signs and symptoms:<\/p>\n

Grade 0: no complaints or physical signs.
\nGrade 1: indicates neck complaints but no physical signs.
\nGrade 2: indicates neck complaints and musculoskeletal signs.
\nGrade 3: neck complaints and neurological signs.
\nGrade 4: neck complaints and fracture\/dislocation:
\n*Most cervical spine fractures occur predominantly at two levels – at the level of C2 or at C6 or C7.
\n*Most fatal cervical spine injuries occur in upper cervical levels, either at the cranio-cervical junction C1, or at C2.<\/p>\n

Treatment<\/b><\/p>\n

The grade of whiplash will change the treatment approach. Chiropractic treatments are useful in the treatment of whiplash. Contact our Balmain chiro<\/a> for more information. <\/p>\n
