Illustration of a whiplash injury to the neck
Illustration of a whiplash injury to the neck. When the neck is bent forcibly and violently for- wards and then backwards, or vice versa, an injury can be caused to spinal joints of the neck, to the spinal cord, to ligaments, and soft tissues. Spine damage can involve subluxation (partial disloca- tion) of a cervical joint, seen here at the sixth cervical vertebrae. There may be a fracture of a cervical vertebra or a ligament may rupture. If the spinal cord is not itself damaged, full recov- ery can occur within weeks. Commonly pain and neck stiffness are worse 24 hours after the injury. Treatment involves an orthopaedic collar, muscle- relaxant drugs, and physiotherapy

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library depicts an intricate illustration of a whiplash injury to the neck. The artwork vividly portrays the consequences of forceful and violent bending of the neck in both forward and backward directions. Such motion can lead to severe damage, affecting various components within the spinal region. The image showcases potential injuries that may occur, including harm to spinal joints, ligaments, soft tissues, and even the spinal cord itself. At the sixth cervical vertebrae, we witness a partial dislocation known as subluxation—a visible indication of spine damage. Additionally, fractures in cervical vertebrae or ruptured ligaments are also possible outcomes. Fortunately, if no direct harm is inflicted upon the spinal cord during this traumatic event, complete recovery can be achieved within weeks. However, it is important to note that pain and stiffness tend to worsen 24 hours after sustaining such an injury. To address these issues effectively, treatment involves several measures such as utilizing orthopedic collars for support along with muscle-relaxant drugs and physiotherapy sessions. This comprehensive approach aims at alleviating discomfort while promoting healing in order to restore optimal health. Science Photo Library's remarkable artwork not only educates us about this specific medical condition but also highlights its significance within healthcare practices. It serves as a reminder of how crucial it is for individuals involved in accidents or experiencing whiplash symptoms to seek appropriate medical attention promptly.
