While often described as a normal part of aging, joint pain is not always simply about “getting older.” There are multiple forms of arthritis, with osteoarthritis being the most common diagnosis. Researchers estimate that approximately 30–40% of middle-aged adults and 50–70% of older adults have some degree of osteoarthritis.

Whiplash is a common neck injury that typically occurs when the head is suddenly forced backward and forward, often during a motor vehicle collision, sports injury, or fall. This rapid motion can place excessive stress on the muscles, joints, ligaments, discs, and nerves of the cervical spine.
