Understanding Whiplash: Unraveling the Impact of Auto Accidents Part 3 (Murphy, Oct 26-27, 2024 on-campus)
Summary
Understanding whiplash-injured patients should include a discussion of clinical syndromes that are often found in the whiplash-injured patient, including:
• Headache
• Cervical Angina
• Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Additionally, chiropractors should be knowledgeable on biological factors that are related to chronic symptoms following traumatic injury. These include:
• Systemic factors that alter the nociceptive thresholds.
• The ability to produce anti-inflammatory resolvins.
The 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine explains why whiplash-injured patients have an acceleration of degenerative disc disease. This concept should be understood for those that manage these types of injured patients.
Studies are beginning to show a relationship between cannabis use and the risk of motor vehicle collisions. This risk should be understood by heal care providers, including chiropractors.
Using all of these concepts in the construction of medical-legal reports should the standard.
Whiplash-inured patients may need a unique approach to management of common post-traumatic clinical syndromes. These include:
• Adjustments to the uncinate joint.
• Performing the Epley maneuver for BPPV.
• Adjusting the lumbo-sacral spine without using a rotational line-of-drive.
• Managing and adjusting injury to the temporomandibular joint
Objectives
