Written by two leading chiropractic authorities, this Whiplash Injuries Third edition helps the reader understand, assess, diagnose, and treat whiplash injuries (cervical acceleration/deceleration syndrome).

The text reviews the developmental anatomy and underlying anatomy associated with the syndrome and examines biomechanics related to whiplash. In addition, the book covers assessment techniques including clinical radiographic examinations such as MRI and CT.

Features:

• Physical Examination of the Whiplash Injury patients is covered and includes history taking, orthopaedic and neurological testing
• Differential Diagnoses testing procedures are covered. Testing procedures that may be ordered after the initial examination. (Including advanced radiological procedures)
• Detailed Biomechancis Analysis of the cervical spine and how it interfaces with the whiplash phenomenon. (Biomechanics refers to the physical actions of the joints and muscles of the cervical spine as they move forward and backward during accidents)
• Prognosis Scale – This is a numerical scale used in assessing Cervical Acceleration/Deceleration Injuries. It predicts with some accuracy, the probability of future problems, such as development of neurological deficits or failure to respond to conservative care
