Dear Friends and Neighbors,

It is estimated that more than 1 million people are diagnosed with whiplash in the United States each year. Whiplash can be caused by falls, such as from a bicycle or horse; contact sports such as football, hockey or boxing; or a blow to the head from a physical assault or falling object, but the most common cause is motor vehicle accidents.

Less severe causes of whiplash are recurring stress injuries or persistent strain involving the neck, such as using your neck to hold the phone, or riding a roller coaster and other amusement park rides.

One out of every five people (20 percent) in- volved in a rear-end collision later have neck pains, which may develop into whiplash, ac- cording to the American Academy of Ortho- paedic Surgeons. Statistics from The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show that whiplash is reported in about 2 million insurance claims per year in the United States, at a cost of $7 billion a year.

We’ve had the privilege of coming along many people in this community, helping them to achieve their highest level of health possible after suffering a whiplash accident, and we’d be honored to work with you.
