Hello professionally Integrated, Here is a great paper that discusses the physiological problems that occur with a diagnosis of a “facet injury”. This goes over instability of the facet joint, how it affects movement and stability, how it disrupts nerves, tissue of the facet and cartilage, and trauma to the joint, and lots more. This is a wonderful way… Read More
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 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
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
Cervical spine trauma Cervical spine trauma is a common problem with a wide range of severity from minor ligamentous injury to frank osteo-ligamentous instability with spinal cord injury Indian J Orthop. 2007 Oct-Dec; 41(4): 255–267 “The reported frequency of missed injuries in the cervical spine varies from 4% to 30%.The most common reason cited for missed injuries is an inadequate radiographic… Read More
