Whiplash Treatments in Minnesota

What is Whiplash

The neck consists of 7 cervical vertebrae and more than 60 ligaments and 65 muscles! The human head weighs from 8-12 lbs. Whiplash happens when the cervical spine is quickly propelled into a motion. The muscles and ligaments try to protect the neck, spinal cord and head by firing quickly and because of this heavy force, injury commonly occurs to the various muscles and ligaments of the cervical and thoracic (upper back) spine.

Common activities that can cause whiplash include:

• Car Accidents
• Work Injuries
• Sports Injuries
• Slips and Falls
• Other traumas
