NECK DEFLECTION AFTER TRAUMA
The term “whiplash” refers to an abnormal displacement of the vertebrae in the neck, usually as a result of an accident or trauma. This often occurs as a result of events such as high-energy accidents, falls, sports injuries or head injuries. Whiplash can cause serious injuries to the spine and may require immediate medical attention.

NON-SURGICAL TREATMENT METHODS OF POST-TRAUMATIC NECK TWISTING
Neck Collar Usage: Using a cervical collar can support the neck muscles and speed up the healing process of the spine.

Medication Therapy: Prescription medications may be used to control pain and inflammation.
Rehabilitation: Following injury, expert-guided rehabilitation programs can improve mobility and build strength.
SURGICAL TREATMENT METHODS OF POST-TRAUMATIC NECK DEFLECTION
