Introduction Injuries from rapid acceleration-deceleration motions, most frequently from car crashes, are referred to as whiplash-associated disorders (WAD). The mechanism of damage is called “whiplash,” although the symptoms that follow, such as pain, stiffness, headaches, and muscular spasms, are referred to as WAD. WAD has an uncertain and irregular prognosis; some cases remain acute and…
