1
00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:01.916
The most common injury

2
00:00:01.916 --> 00:00:02.958
we see at McCutcheon

3
00:00:02.958 --> 00:00:04.083
and Hamner is

4
00:00:04.083 --> 00:00:05.083
whiplash injuries.

5
00:00:06.208 --> 00:00:07.208
Whiplash is an injury

6
00:00:07.208 --> 00:00:08.041
to the neck. Now if

7
00:00:08.041 --> 00:00:08.458
you go to the

8
00:00:08.458 --> 00:00:08.916
doctor they're

9
00:00:08.916 --> 00:00:09.500
gonna call it a

10
00:00:09.500 --> 00:00:11.125
cervical injury but

11
00:00:11.125 --> 00:00:12.666
whiplash neck injuries

12
00:00:12.666 --> 00:00:14.250
we see these all

13
00:00:14.250 --> 00:00:15.041
the time and they

14
00:00:15.041 --> 00:00:15.958
arise out of a

15
00:00:15.958 --> 00:00:17.666
multitude of events.

16
00:00:18.125 --> 00:00:18.958
The most common being

17
00:00:18.958 --> 00:00:20.500
car wrecks but you can

18
00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:22.250
have whiplash from a

19
00:00:22.250 --> 00:00:23.375
slip and fall an

20
00:00:23.375 --> 00:00:23.833
on-the-job

21
00:00:23.833 --> 00:00:26.000
injury. Any way the

22
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:26.958
body can be

23
00:00:26.958 --> 00:00:28.583
traumatized you can

24
00:00:28.583 --> 00:00:30.708
suffer whiplash. Now

25
00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:34.291
whiplash is an injury

26
00:00:34.291 --> 00:00:35.750
to the muscles tendons

27
00:00:35.750 --> 00:00:36.375
and ligaments

28
00:00:36.375 --> 00:00:37.791
of the neck. It

29
00:00:37.791 --> 00:00:38.458
usually doesn't

30
00:00:38.458 --> 00:00:41.666
require surgery but

31
00:00:41.666 --> 00:00:43.708
there is this belief

32
00:00:43.708 --> 00:00:44.791
among the insurance

33
00:00:44.791 --> 00:00:46.541
companies however

34
00:00:46.541 --> 00:00:48.291
wrong it is that

35
00:00:48.291 --> 00:00:49.291
whiplash should just

36
00:00:49.291 --> 00:00:50.041
resolve within a

37
00:00:50.083 --> 00:00:50.958
couple of days and

38
00:00:50.958 --> 00:00:52.583
you're fine. That is

39
00:00:52.583 --> 00:00:54.083
not necessarily the

40
00:00:54.083 --> 00:00:55.958
case. Now most of the

41
00:00:55.958 --> 00:00:57.000
time treatment for

42
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:58.375
whiplash doesn't

43
00:00:58.375 --> 00:00:59.375
result in surgery

44
00:00:59.375 --> 00:01:00.125
because it's not

45
00:01:00.125 --> 00:01:01.500
damage to the vertebra

46
00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:02.166
of the neck or the

47
00:01:02.166 --> 00:01:02.791
bones of the

48
00:01:02.791 --> 00:01:03.500
neck and it's not

49
00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:04.583
damage to the disc of

50
00:01:04.583 --> 00:01:06.458
the neck. So usually

51
00:01:06.458 --> 00:01:07.250
what we see

52
00:01:07.250 --> 00:01:08.000
is some type of

53
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:09.500
therapeutic care, be

54
00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:10.666
it chiropractic care

55
00:01:10.666 --> 00:01:12.208
or physical therapy

56
00:01:12.208 --> 00:01:13.583
and a lot of times

57
00:01:13.625 --> 00:01:15.500
people do recover from

58
00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:17.333
it but there is a

59
00:01:17.333 --> 00:01:19.041
group of people that

60
00:01:19.041 --> 00:01:20.541
never completely

61
00:01:20.583 --> 00:01:22.041
resolve or recover

62
00:01:22.041 --> 00:01:24.833
from whiplash and as

63
00:01:24.833 --> 00:01:25.833
advanced as medical

64
00:01:25.833 --> 00:01:27.416
science is they

65
00:01:27.416 --> 00:01:29.208
don't know why. They

66
00:01:29.208 --> 00:01:30.166
don't know if it's

67
00:01:30.166 --> 00:01:31.833
structural damage to

68
00:01:31.833 --> 00:01:33.000
the muscles, the

69
00:01:33.166 --> 00:01:34.416
tendons, the ligaments

70
00:01:34.416 --> 00:01:37.125
but there are a group

71
00:01:37.125 --> 00:01:38.500
of people that

72
00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:39.375
due to trauma

73
00:01:40.041 --> 00:01:41.541
experience a lifetime

74
00:01:41.541 --> 00:01:43.500
of pain due to

75
00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:46.333
whiplash and if you or

76
00:01:46.333 --> 00:01:47.000
a loved one has

77
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:48.125
suffered whiplash due

78
00:01:48.125 --> 00:01:49.416
to a car wreck, a slip

79
00:01:49.416 --> 00:01:50.083
and fall, an

80
00:01:50.083 --> 00:01:52.125
on-the-job injury give
