indeed it was helpful, what you say is true, I encounter it in a accident and I never went to no hospital, but for 1 wk I was not myself, I still have problems, I would encourage anyone who encountered an accident to seek medical attention,
In the past, neck collars were often used to immobilize the neck in cases of whiplash injury, but current medical guidelines generally recommend avoiding prolonged use of neck collars. Instead, early movement and gentle exercises are often encouraged to prevent stiffness and promote healing. It's important for patients to follow their healthcare provider's advice and treatment recommendations for their specific situation.
Using a Cervical Neck Brace for 1 hour periods is still very useful! It’s just when they are used to much for example left on all day and night it can have worsened effects. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath-water , so to speak! There is still a lot of merit for the ‘old’ methods.
Whiplash is no joke. Traffic on the highway came to a dead stop and I was rear ended at 65+ mph. More than a year later and I have constant neck pain, arm and shoulder weakness, numbing/burning/pinching down my neck, back, arms (mostly right), chest, and face. There are several times where the numbing and burning got so bad it spread from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. I was hoping to heal from my injury in about a year or less, but was told I would have to live with this for the rest of my life since my symptoms weren’t getting any better. I’m still sad and angry because this happened when I was 24 and now I feel like an old person in chronic pain. Going from being able to do anything to being VERY limited is depressing.
If you are still alive, imagine line symmetry of your spine from head to chest. Re-coordination might be what you needed. Sending tiny ambulance trucks to wrong neighborhood is what your brain does when uncoordinated.
U just need shockwave therapy some physical therapy also u might need to start with epidurals. I’m going through the same. Had 3 epidurals in neck and thoracic spine last year but pain came back in 1-1/2 year now doing something longer term but it is a battle. Actually going to do stem cells now in Mexico
I feel for you I came here trying to get answers for myself and can only pray Lord please father God help us all we need you in the name of your son yeshua wow. It has been 3 years now. And I. Done with this twitching burning tingling done. I plan to live my best life
Whiplash is a total body injury, not just neck and upper back. Spinal involvement "whips" into lower back and torso. Also consider ground reactive forces through points of contact upon impact (hands on wheels, feet on car pedals or floor) and transmission to shoulder and pelvic girdles.
I hace c6 and c7 and d5 fracures due to wipslash lots of symtoms accuring in my right side inluding opening my mouth and all the symtoms mentioned above its been only 2 months and week that this happend im only texting with my left hand i dont use the right its week allong with my right leg my doc said 8 should use my collar for the cerical and back support lots catsscan anmri of the cerv8cal is done should also problems with vision and ear should i listen to the specialist or see him again specially when those symptoms are not getting any better as of yet
I'm so lucky my neck didn't snap in the accident!!!! wow this looks so scary seeing it done 😫 😭 😩 my entire back of my neck hurts and so is my back, shoulders, lower back etc...all of it. I was thinking it's due to the car accident. But I'm not sure as I wasn't checked out right.

I was rear ended yesterday, if the guy was going much faster I would be in major pain. Some of my neck area feel sore and back. When he hit me my neck jolted forward and back.
I hop u reported accident and have record because if ur like me my chronic symptoms were delayed. Mine happens in 2021 n im in agony this past year getting worse. Waiting on mri. Hopefully urs will pass 🙏
Yes Hallie whiplash includes the entire spine as well as the pelvis and other bones and organs in the body due to the basic laws of physics the linear motion when comes to an abrupt & sudden stop by an outside force, the G forces as commonly referred as still store in the body or in the case of the rear end situation when sitting still at say a light, since the car making the impact in the back has its linear motion so abruptly by the sitting cars rear end the force is transferred all the through the car to the people in it as such an easy phenomenon to understand as go to a carnival and watch the people riding the fricking bumper cars as they were custom designed for such an activity for fun & amusement enjoy some laughs & excitement so rarely if ever anyone ever goes away with any form of whiplash. But driving vehicle designed strong & sturdy to last, when the collision occurs the G forces accumulated must go somewhere to get lodged in the human body. As know from experience that due to the microfacial tears & abrasions that occur up and down the spinal column causing at best tightness & stiffness due to the vast abundance of scar tissue since even now after finally being properly diagnosed & treated after 32 years of suffering from chronic pain, chronic headaches, insomnia and cramps from the atlas bone being twisted & crooked impeding my vagas nerve among other things as when even one bone in the spine is dislocated the spine reacts like a slinky adjusting from top to bottom so nearly 2 years ago when found the cause of WTH was going on with my health the doc said not even one vertebra was in the proper place and there are up to 8 chemical & 8 physical symptoms the body can manifest for just even one vertebra out of place as no wonder had so many maladies solving nothing as the traditional medical system is the legal pill pushers for big pharma as they have a pill for every ill, a potion for every emotion & a knife for every life yet rarely ever cure anything so do not have to see them again as not having repeat customers is a very bad business model. And whiplash is a permanent condition as the laser machine in the docs office attempting to now break up the scar tissue making me as well as possible but am going to be tied to until the day of my death the way the thing incessantly beeps all over my back! lol

I got an head injury (banged my head on a metal gate) 3.5 year's back, at first I was having confusion/disoriented and felt alot dizzy, but didn't lose consciousness, since then I've developed panic disorder. I've been having terrible dizziness, lose of balance, headache's, terrible insomnia, been having really bad panic attack's, sound sensitivity, body muscle pains, alot of weakness, numbness in arm's and leg's, weakness in body, been to many doctors but they all gave antidepressants. Now after all these years I've been having really bad grinding in neck with alot of cervical pain 😢 cannot climb stairs feeling miserable because the pain is soooo intense.
@@Sahilkumar-ix3xgi have all these syntoms i did an mri of the heah and vervil the docs sa8d just weae ur back nd neck collar for up to 8 months and ull be fine i dont know.....
I accident with my bike still now l can't heal my neck pain nerve paining left side right side backside, l have take alot of madicine but its not improved, how should l do sir?
I got whiplash when I try to perform a backflip off a trampoline and fall on the back of my neck, I hope im not in serious injury. Everytime when I jump or run my upper middle back hurts and I have trouble breathing.
It’s a very underrated injury and if not treated properly, it can get worse over time. People like myself learn ways to cope with it and sort of get back to normal life. The craziest part it no employer wants to hire you because you had to take time off to recover.
3 years since my accident and my whiplash symptoms continue to get worse. I strangely can’t seem to hold myself together, i even have pains in my toes. I wish i could find a doctor that had a clue
@@marshalbarb ohh my gosh was I in bad shape when I wrote this. Thanks for caring, let me share some hope!After a few difficult months I managed to restore the curve in my neck and my straight back can now round forward again! This has taken pressure off of so many discs that i can walk without pain! I was able to pull my shoulder out of my ribs and a huge chunk of muscle that was trapped under my collar bone is regaining strength and I can breathe again. I also had close to no movement in my thoracic and it is starting to move again. Feeling better than I have all year! It was a horrifying process in terms of pain and discomfort, but now that my spine curves the right directions I’m finally able to live again.
@@SauerkrautX holy crap I’ve come a long way and have much to tell you. Some time after I wrote this tho I was feeling better I LOOKED much worse. What was functional paralysis in most of my body accompanied by nerve pain was no longer holding stiff and suddenly I had very obvious dystonic movements everywhere in my body. The dystonia must be why I could never get my head back even with treatment. I used a pump designed for straight necks to manually move my neck the little it would, focusing hard on the nerve feedback I was getting from the muscles which I couldn’t feel. I was able to learn from marijuana to withstand the pain more and more and eventually I was able to attempt to move the muscles on my own. It was horribly difficult. I would think “up” and realized I had ZERO understanding of how to make that happen. I would sit in a dark room with music on stimulating the muscles all around my head and neck as lightly as I could trying as I could to “find” the nerve impulses. Eventually I found my head. Learned the basics of up, down, left, right. Then came relearning movement, space, time, colors… everything that makes your nervous system respond. Basically the same process we go through and forget as children rebooted. My brain started forgetting the damaged circuits and looking out to other people to learn how to use a body. My first words were “right side vocal cords” 😂. Had to relearn postures and emotions even. Animated kid movies were very helpful. And watching a baby make a face helped me figure out how to use my own. I just started walking 2 weeks ago but progress comes fast now, i even started lifting weights again! It seems my issue is actually brain damage and tho doctors say otherwise there is a way to learn to use the body again. As I learn to move my head on my own my body is naturally untwisting. I got a gym membership the same day I did a push-up (even clapped on the first one😎) Its been a ton of work but theres finally moments Im not shaking, I can play my guitar again, pains 80% better… the list goes on and on. Some things are even starting to work better than before the accident. Whatever your issue is, if dystonia can be beat with the mind I think anything is possible!
I’m going on 5months after an accident shoulder hurt so bad it feels like it’s stiff cannot lift heavy items I thought it was dislocated I am being treated with physical therapy and already my shoulder starts to feel a bit better but I’m still in pain
I got whipelash from a sports related injury. The pain comes and goes and i have to sleep a certain way to get it to heal properly and every now and then when sparring it comes back. I fear ktll be like this forever. It acares me.
Best bet is to ask your doctor for an MRI scan to see what is causing the pain. From there they will know what treatment is needed and if a specialist is needed.
Clearly you are not a patient of this .. get an mri they will tell you ?? Yeah right. I’m on 9 Facebook groups with thousands of people who have this not one of them knows exactly their injury from multiple MRIs which I also did, please save the advice until you understand
I was in a car accident imn2020 and the car no fault stopped I am having spasms still but my neck is yje worse it goes in my nraim from my neck downmu arm. I lift bags and then spasms again If I turn my neck toy left my eyes both start blinking giving me a headache. I have to line my head to the middle to get it to stop. And other times just my right eye will lightly twitch.when I sleep as well. I sleep with a car traveling brace. The hospital one is real hard and uncomfortable. It is now three years and I feel tingling in my head the Dr said I had neuropathy or something meaning that the pain is shooting out to release itself. It just need it to stop. I get brain fog of certain words but I contribute it to the muscle spasm pills. I try not to take it all the time because I need to think on the profession I. In. Anyone knows about car accident twitching or why my neck pain or twisting seems to control my eye blinking and fogginess oh and I hear ringing in the ear.

I got t boned and got a whiplash thought I was fine now here I am almost a year later balance is so screwed up I can barely walk I think it's from my neck being unstable
I was given a blow at the back 9f My neck and have been experiencing alot of dizziness, anxiety and panic attack too, losing focus is the worst thing ever
@@TarikRom-hu3jj whiplash 5 weeks ago. Mostly just hyperextension of the head and neck backwards. I have 24/7 dizziness that feels like I’m rocking on a boat or walking on a trampoline. Brain fog, fatigue, memory problems. Burning/aching nerve pain in my face and teeth. Pressure in the face and head. Dry mouth. Neck clicks and pops more than normal. I threw my head back in a chair with no headrest. That was all it took. I suspect ligament injury causing cervical instability. I think my vertebrae are pushing on nerves and my brain stem
@@sawyerrd4126 it looks like wipsplash grade 3 as long as u dident break anythink it will go away on its own just give it time... i had wipsplash grade 5 i broke my neck and back i still have somme of those symptoms that u mentioned but they going away hopefully i get back to 100 symptoms free 😊
