Whiplash and whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) represent a range of injuries to the neck caused by or related to a sudden distortion of the neck.
Whiplash is commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents, usually when the vehicle has been hit in the rear; however, the injury can be sustained in many other ways, including falls from bicycles or horses. It stands out as one of the main injuries covered by the car insurers. In UK, 430,000 people made a claim for whiplash in 2007 (75% of the UK's motor insurance claims), accounting for 14% of every driver's premium.
The symptoms of the whiplash reported by sufferers include: pain and aching to the neck and back, referred pain to the shoulders, sensory disturbance (such as pins and needles) to the arms & legs and headaches. Symptoms can appear directly after the injury, but often are not felt until days afterwards. Whiplash is usually confined to the spinal cord, and the most common areas of the spinal cord affected by whiplash are the neck, and the mid-back (middle of the spine).

That is really a notorious problem caused by the accidents and that is the reason, the drivers are always asked to tighten their seat belts to avoid such head and neck hit. I suggest that the companies must also consult with the Physiotherapy North Ryde for faster and better relief of the patients with economy.
That is the reason that the driver are always advised to have seat belts all the time because the more experienced a driver is, the more chances of getting an accident are there and those who have gone through the situation are advised to go to Chiropractor near Many vale to get rid of the neck pain.
For Chair Massage Vancouver by Elegance Massage, you are seated in a special chair with your face resting in a cradle, looking down towards the floor, with supports for your arms. Your back and neck completely relax while the therapist relieves muscle tension using Swedish massage moves like kneading and compression and tapotement.
