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.
SYMPTOMS
Neck Pain:
Severe and sudden onset of neck pain.
Headache:
Severe pain in the skull, usually starting in the nape of the neck.
Muscle Weakness or Paralysis:
If the spine is injured, weakness or paralysis may occur in a specific part of the body.
Neurological Problems:
When the spinal cord or nerve roots are affected, neurological problems such as numbness or tingling in the hands and feet may occur.
Breathing Difficulty:
Serious injuries to the cervical spine can have a negative impact on respiratory function.
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.
Physical Therapy: Physical therapy exercises can strengthen muscles and improve flexibility.
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
Decompression Surgery: Removal of material compressing the spinal cord or nerve roots.
Fusion Surgery: Omurların stabilize edilmesi için metal implantların kullanıldığı bir prosedür.
