Whip Lash Injury occurs when rapid strain is placed on the body such as in auto accident, contact sport or falls. These forces cause a reaction and counter-reaction in spinal soft tissues creating widespread tearing and inflammation. Injury is felt in the more vulnerable areas of the spine such as the neck and lower back and can have long standing effects. Physical Therapy treatment focusses on acute protection and rest followed by gentle mobilization and retraining of the injured area(s). At PhysioSpine Reno, we specialize in spinal recovery from injury including Whip Lash Associated Disorder.
