Whiplash or WAD (Whiplash Associated Disorder) is a serious
condition that can affect an individual’s activities of daily
living and their overall quality of life. Most people associate
whiplash with an automobile accident and that of course is the
number one way to receive whiplash; however, whiplash (WAD) can
also be from other accidents including: falls from ladders,
roofs, horses, bicycles, skiing and diving accidents, etc. The
signs of symptoms of WAD can be very vague immediately following
the accident. Some sufferers don’t even seek medical care
because their completely pain-free. However, the hours following
the accident and typically the next day, victims complain of
increased pain in the neck, head, shoulders, headaches, pins and
needles in their neck sometimes traveling down their arm into
the hands, and even light sensitivity. In Whiplash, the muscles
and ligaments of the neck get stretched with the acceleration
and deceleration and the tiny cervical spine bones can even
