Whiplash injuries are extremely important to deal with. Many people have suffered such injuries to a greater or lesser degree. Most whiplash victims have not received sufficient treatment after an accident, which has left them with chronic damage to mostly the neck and upper thoracic spinal areas.
Many victims that I see have never received treatment to the front of the neck and throat only to the back side. Whiplash can give you equal damage to the front as well as the back of this important area.
The front side, with the large and powerful Sterno-Cleido Mastoideus muscle, which turns the neck, and the smaller and numerous Scalene muscles on the side of the neck. These must be examined for contractures and shortening. If this is left untreated it can give several serious symptoms apart from “just” headaches and migraines.
These areas are treated with soft tissue technique like fascial manipulation with great effect.
