Whiplash
is a condition caused by
injury to the soft tissue
structures of the cervical
spine or neck region.
Usually whiplash is a strain
of the muscles or sprain
of the ligaments that move
and support the spine and
head. Often whiplash occurs
after a sudden, unexpected
movement of extension of
the neck, most commonly
during a car crash.
Whiplash
Symptoms
These signs and
symptoms may occur immediately
or minutes to hours after
the initial injury. The
sooner after the injury
that symptoms develop, the
greater the chance of serious
damage.
· Neck pain
· Neck swelling
· Tenderness along
the back of your neck
· Muscle spasms (in
the side or back of your
neck)
· Difficulty moving
your neck around
· Headache
· Pain shooting from
your neck into either shoulder
or arm.

When to Seek Medical
Care
The best time to call your
doctor is immediately after
the injury. If you cannot
determine whether an emergency
department visit is needed
for your symptoms, then
contact your doctor and
ask for advice. If your
doctor is unavailable at
the time of your injury,
then you should call 911
for transport to the emergency
department. The risks associated
with a possible neck injury
are far too great to attempt
to diagnose and treat yourself.
You should see a doctor
and have your neck braced
to keep your head from moving
during transport.
Depending
on the severity of your
car accident, emergency
medical personnel may take
you to an emergency department
immediately. In this case,
a cervical collar will be
placed around your neck,
and your body will be strapped
to a long, firm board to
prevent any movements until
a doctor sees you.
With less severe car accidents,
sports injuries, or other
accidental injuries, emergency
medical services may or
may not be involved in your
prehospital care. You should
call 911 emergency medical
services if you develop
any of the following symptoms
shortly after your injury:
· Neck pain
· Pain in either
or both arms
· Shoulder pain
· Headache
· Dizziness
· Weakness or loss
of function

"I
have been
very happy
with the ChiSoft
PRO II Traction
Device. I
tried an over-the-door
type, but
it was difficult
to use and
to me it felt
dangerous.
The ChiSoft
PRO II is
easy to use
and gentle,
an I can control
the exact
amount of
traction."
