Hello PROFESSIONALLY INTEGRATED, Here is a cool video breakdown as well as breakdown of the paper I made easy to insert in your notes and educate your patients with. This paper compares individuals involved in crashes and not involved in a crash to determine if any nerves were damaged. This also shows how during normal neurological evaluation, we may be… Read More
Hello Professionally Integrated, Here is some great information that shows what happens to the cervical spine during a whiplash rear end impact starting at only 2 gs. Notice how the authors do NOT say “soft tissue” but describe what soft tissue was damages such as the facet capsule and vertebral artery. The authors also show that the tested impact causes… Read More

Here is a very interesting paper that shows how once the facet joints are damaged, it can cause neurological consequences, including hyper- excitability and irritation of the CNS! Now, I have many papers, and videos on here showing how car crashes and trauma have been shown to damage the facet joints, and how this injury can lead to neurological compromise…. Read More
Here is a great paper (and video breakdown) that is incredibly important if you take images after your patient was in a crash and they have degeneration. Most insurance companies will argue that because degeneration is on the image that is a reason further pain and not the crash. However, research and science can be a wonderful thing. Below is… Read More
Here are a great paper and video that discusses MVC consequences, particularly how facet joints can get damaged leading to ongoing chronic pain that can also lead to central nervous system irritation and central sensitization. This is another paper that clearly shows that patients involved in motor vehicle crashes do not just get better a lot of the time, but… Read More
Here is a study that examined low speed MVC injuries. Many of these significant MVC injuries happened at 4.3 M/S which is under 10 mph. The beauty of this research shows the following: 1) Injuries may vary greatly from person to person. This is why we must be thorough on every patient. 2) Lots of different injuries can be present in… Read More
At professionally Integrated, we want to provide you with information that we feel will make you a better doctor and help more patients that are hurt from traumas like car crashes. Here is a study that was done looking at what happens to the cervical spine and the exiting nerve roots as well as two different types of “anti-whiplash”… Read More
Hello PROFESSIONALLY INTEGRATED, Here is a video and paper I break down about radiculopathy after a rear end impact, and the rear impact would be considered “low-speed” by many. This radiculopathy was not from a disc herniation compressing the nerve root, but from damage to structures around the inter-vertebral foramen from spinal damage during the mechanism of “whiplash”. This is… Read More
Dear Professionally Integrated, Here is a great video and paper that I break down for you to make it easy to put in your notes and educate patients and your community. This paper describes the difference between chronic pain patients from a car crash, compared to patients with pain not from a car crash. The authors found a significant difference… Read More

Hello Professionally Integrated, Here is a paper where the authors looked at what areas cause pain in e lumbar spine AFTER a car crash. You can clearly see the pain is not diagnosed as “whiplash”. By understanding where the pain generator is, we can get a specific diagnosis that can lead to a better treatment plan. Lets take a look… Read More
Hello Professionally Integrated, Here is a paper about axial neck pain. This can present like “sclerotogenous pain” from facets and ligaments and can even be irritated with a subluxation and loss of curve. This paper discusses how this pain decreases patients “quality of life”. I feel if we improve the curve and movement we can minimize this discomfort by increasing… Read More
Dear Professionally Integrated, Here is a break down of a great study that can also be viewed as “frustrating” to us providers and to our patients but is very important for us to understand clinically. Here, the authors took some spines that were in a normal lordosis (again another paper explaining normal) and subjecting it to one rear end impact…. Read More
