What are spinal cord injuries?
A spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord that may result in loss of mobility or feeling. Most spinal cord injuries occur through car accidents, gun shots, sports accidents, falls and industrial accidents. There are different levels of spinal cord injuries and numerous treatment options for victims. While spinal cord injuries are traumatic, with treatment and counseling people with spinal cord injuries lead happy productive lives.

What is whiplash?
A whiplash (in fact a whiplash trauma or post whiplash complaint) is caused by an accident, in most cases a car accident, in which the victim is hit from behind. As a result of the impact the back and shoulders are thrown forward faster than the head, because the head is flexibly connected to the rest of the body.

What are the most common symptoms of whiplash?
There are some symptoms that are present in nearly every case of whiplash. The following is a list of the most reported symptoms:

Neck pain
Headache
Shoulder pain
Back pain
Numbness
Extremity Pain/weakness
Difficulties with memory
Dizziness
Face and jaw pain
Vertigo
Vision problems

Aren’t I safe from a whiplash injury if I wear my seatbelt?
The force to the neck due to a shifting and snapping, forward and backward action, is often up to five times greater than the force of the collision itself, and the use of seatbelts actually speeds up the whipping motion of the neck, causing even more injury.

I was in a car accident, but I didn’t have any discomfort. Can I assume I don't have whiplash?
No, because immediately after a whiplash accident, victims are often unaware that they have been injured. You may be experiencing only slight discomfort and/or stiffness in your neck. Whiplash usually doesn't become apparent for at least 12 to 24 hours after the accident.
