A member asked:
What are the prolonged effects of whiplash?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic Pain Arthrit: Anyone involved in a motor vehicle collision should be evaluated for whiplash. Even 5mph accidents are enough to cause challenges. 1 in 4 people end up with chronic pain due to whiplash and cervical spine injuries. Arthritis (degenerative disc disease) may results. It would be wise to seek evaluation and treatment, including chiropractic and rehab.
