neck

It is the most common complaint from whiplash trauma being reported in over 90% of patients. It will often radiate across the shoulders, up into the head, and down between the shoulder blades. Injuries to the neck usually affect all the tissues including facet joints, discs, muscles, ligaments, and nerves. Facet joints are the most common cause of neck pain following a car accident and can only be diagnosed by physical palpitation by a trained chiropractor.
