Whiplash Leads to Accelerated Arthritis of the Spine. 

Arthritis Often Begins With A Whiplash Injury Here’s What You Need To Know… So It Doesn’t Happen To You!

The video talks about an important study that found a very significant increase in degeneration of the spinal joints and discs often called arthritis following a whiplash injury from a car crash.

From the study mentioned in the video…

“Follow-up x rays taken 7 years after injury in patients without prior x ray evidence of disc disease indicated that 39% had developed degenerative disc disease at one or more disc levels since injury.”

7 years after the injury the discs and other spinal structures are already breaking down!

This 39% was compared to an expected average incidence of 6% degenerative change in the general population without injury over this period of time.

This is a 650% increased risk of arthritis!

It’s important to correct the abnormal movements, the stiffness in the joints, the muscle spasms/tightness, losses of range of motion, and other problems so that the spine (or extremity) doesn’t continue to wear at a faster rate over time.

This will help reduce your pain, stiffness, and tightness now… but even more importantly prevent you from having potentially very serious problems later.
