We all had that happen, or someone you know this to be done. Suddenly someone crashes into the rear end of the car and you feel your head on the headrest extend back and then bounce forward to hit the steering wheel almost to the end. When the police arrive and begin questions to ask what had happened, try to piece together what happened, but they are not quite sure of the sequence of events. Your memory just is not so clear. Within the first few days, in addition to substantial neck and headache, note your memory are blurred, and you can easily lose your thoughts.
Although whiplash injuries are quite common, research is just beginning to describe the various symptoms that may develop if the neck has been traumatized. Because whiplash symptoms often subtle and non-specific, it is quite normal for patients who do not complain about them. In fact, we almost always describe the symptoms and ask if any of these symptoms the patient sound familiar.
As mentioned above, patients with mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) not mentioned, one of the symptoms described above and may be, in fact, embarrassing these symptoms to discuss with their Las Vegas chiropractor when they for the first time after a car accident before. This is because the symptoms are vague and difficult to describe and many feel the symptoms by simply causing tired or maybe upset about the accident. When directly if any of these symptoms in demand exist, the patient is often surprised that in this way an actual reason for the feeling.
attributed the cause of MTBI to the brain is actually bouncing or the inner walls of the skull during whiplash process rebounds from when the head is forced after the impact back and forth. During this process, the brain, which is suspended in our skulls, is pushed forward and literally bounces off the skull and damage some of the nerve cells most commonly associated with either the brain stem (the part of the spinal cord connected), the frontal lobe (the part behind the forehead) and / or the temporal lobe (the part of the brain, on the side of the head). Depending on the direction and the degree of force by the collision produced (front side impact or rear impact), the area of the brain that can be damaged, varied as it could be the area closest to the area impact or, training at the opposite side because of the rebound effect. Depending on which part of the brain is injured, can the physical findings are problems with walking, balance, coordination, strength, and difficulties in communication, information processing, memory and altered psychological functions.
The good news is that most of these whiplash will recover within 3-12 months, but not all do and in these cases the term, post-concussive SYNDROME is sometimes used.
