WORLDWIDE AND SINGAPORE STATISTICS

There are 7724 recorded car accidents causing injuries last year (2017) in Singapore.
Many studies proven to show the effectiveness of chiropractic care on whiplash injuries.
HOW DOES IT OCCUR?
Whiplash is a common condition; most commonly caused by a car accident. It is an injury that usually affects the neck and can lead to prolonged chronic conditions. It is often due to sudden acceleration-deceleration force that can cause injury to the surrounding muscles, ligaments, tendons, discs, nerves and vertebras.
Ligaments and tendons are in charge of maintaining the spine in the appropriate posture; thus when a patient experiences a sudden forward and backward force, the vertebrae will misalign causing irritation to the nerves.
Studies have showed that going as low as 5-10 kmph can give a person a whiplash due to incorrect jolting motion. This is even more alarming in women as their bone density is lower than men.
Whiplash is not only limited to car accidents.
Surfing, slips, falls, high impact sports etc. can all cause abnormal jerking force of the spine.
