Are Whiplash Symptoms Possible In Front On Collisions?
Question Submitted: Are Whiplash Symptoms Possible In Front On Collisions?
Answer: Absolutely yes. Whiplash symptoms occur from a rapid acceleration/deceleration of your neck. Although it most commonly occurs in car accidents where you are struck from behind, it can also occur in front-end collisions. In fact, over 400 people every day are involved in a whiplash associated auto accident. Other possible causes…
of whiplash are falls and sports injuries. Really, any situation in which there is an quick change of velocity and virtually no protection for your neck, increases the possibility of a whiplash injury and related whiplash symptoms.
People who play sports are also at higher risk and more prone to sustaining whiplash symptoms, especially those involved in high contact sports such as hockey and football where a tackle at high speed or an awkward fall can cause significant damage.

Well now, that really is pain in all areas of the body! Do you have pain in your little finger too? Just kidding, I may be a better Physiotherapist then comedian. I hope. Actually there are a number of things that can potentially improve the sysptoms you have listed. With respect to any osteoarthritis (degenerative disk disease too) a big part of recovery is building stability. Before that can be done however, we must work to improve joint range and mobility, and of course attempt to reduce symptoms. As pain management experts Physiotherapists have a variety of tricks to provide relief. These techniques may include, modalities (ultrasound, interferential current for example), manual therapy, soft tissue mobilizations and acupuncture to name a few. Once over the more acute symptoms we can then instruct you on ways you can maintain range and build stability.
With respect to the low back pain and buring in the foot, we may find that is related to a nerve issue in the back. Your best option is to see a Physiotherapist for a correct impression of the cause of the burning. Again we have a variety of options to reduce the burning and prevent its return.
In addition to the above, research tends to strongely supports a supervised active rehabilitation process when combating any chronic pain syndromes. A Physiotherapist can work with you to relieve symptoms and progress you to the point that you are able to manage your issues independently.
All the best,
Andy RPT
