Why is Whiplash Hard to Treat?

  • Whiplash injury is not just a sprain/strain -- even with seemingly mild initial forces, a person can have many months of pain and dysregulation to perceptual, cognitive, and autonomic systems.
    Is there a clue in this complexity? A way we can approach whiplash treatment that targets its core dynamics? Here's my first video in prep for next Saturday's launch of my online course for Whiplash Treatment. (Details: bit.ly/3yPXXVT)
    The theme of this video is restoration ecology -- focusing your attention and effort on feedback loops, scaled experiments, and collaborating with the system in real-world context.
    We need to understand how the initial injuries of whiplash give rise to self-perpetuating dysregulations to the immune and nervous systems. If we can arrest these feedback loops, we may have a chance at accelerating a person's recovery. (If we can't affect the feedback loops, our short-term fixes will dissolve and no progress will be made.)
    Please me know what you think of this video! And stay tuned for the next one. I'm excited to prep for this class, and I hope some of my manual therapist friends can make it.
    Details on the class:
    3 CE's, $60, and accessible forever. (Or as long as email/youtube exist)
    Neurofascial Approach to Whiplash Treatment

    Thanks for your video. Finally someone who actually understands and explains it. I'm 4 months in and I've had multiple scans, multiple hospital visits and everyone keeps telling me to check my mental health. I finally had a neurosurgeon confirm the diagnosis after explaining the symptoms and the events prior to. The only help I can get is from a very experienced Osteopath who has worked on my dura and calming my nervous system. I had 3 months of intense inflammation, anxiety, headaches, loss of concentration/focus, eyesight and vocal was effected as well as eating. Still get sensations at the base of the skull and mainly on the right side of my neck and throat. My body is also slowly peeling itself back from absolute stiffness as I've been stuck for 3 months. There is also a choking feeling and straining that still occurs as I continue to do daily tasks. Bending and sitting are still a challenge but getting better. Hoping it won't be a long term disability but trying to remain positive. Thank you for explaining it to a T! I can't thank you enough.

    this is so validating... the emotional aspect after my accident has been affecting me more than anything. though most would say the accident wasn't "that bad." thank you for this video doctor.

    Another very important part of this is getting to a point where you realize no matter how bad it is your body isn’t working against you it’s working to protect you and what the mind is repeating

    This man gets it !!! Everything I complained about I had no idea this was related to whiplash I got a concussion so that's what I attributed everything to besides my stiff neck and difficulty lifting my arms at times because my shoulders will feel weak and the intense pain that I will feel in my neck into in between my shoulder blades I've been suffering for 7 years since my injury I feel like there's just something missing I do hate therapy light therapy but it's not better yet cold packs to go to sleep

    Can it be because the ligaments are loose causing instability like cci or aai or just cervical instability in journey.. bones hitting nerves and arteries and brain stem and etc

    I cannot believe my ears! I have such difficulty communicating and getting the quality of treatment and recognition of the severity of symptoms... I've had multiple repeated whiplash incidents and FINALLY someone with perceptive knowledge intricately and accurately is drawing attention with understanding to this plaguing condition. I practiced massage but was forced to retire. What is your opinion on eurowave shockwave for treatment? I have degeneration. Thank you! Sharing.......

    I’m checking your online courses to see if you have any pre-recorded webinars, however I’m not able to access any.

    Can whiplash cause a concussion, and can a concussion/whiplash cause a significant change in a person’s personality/behavior?

      Every concussion is a whiplash, but not every whiplash is a concussion. On regard, to your question about personality. A lot of times these injuries invoke mood changes not personality changes. Personality changes are usually associated with severe/other forms of TBI
