In our highly active society, individuals and groups push their physical limits. Consequently, the incidence of whiplash injury is increasing. Patients may not recover rapidly or fully from a whiplash injury, thus leading to chronic neck and spinal symptoms and litigation. Physicians must recognize whiplash injury as a manifestation of total-body trauma and treat accordingly, with particular emphasis on alleviating abnormal tension of the fascia. Precise description of the accident, followed by healing methods tailored to well-defined bodily injury, aids in effective management. Whiplash injury poses a challenge to the osteopathic physician to sharpen skills in defining the injury based on the details of the accident and to incorporate myofascial release treatment into traditional modes of whiplash treatment. Fortunately, many highly respected osteopathic physicians have written extensively on the subject and the tools are at hand to refine treatment for both acute and chronic whiplash.
在我们这个高度活跃的社会中，个人和群体不断挑战身体极限。因此，挥鞭伤的发生率正在上升。患者可能无法从挥鞭伤中迅速或完全康复，从而导致慢性颈部和脊柱症状以及诉讼。医生必须认识到挥鞭伤是全身创伤的一种表现，并相应地进行治疗，特别要强调缓解筋膜的异常张力。准确描述事故情况，然后针对明确的身体损伤制定相应的治疗方法，有助于进行有效的管理。挥鞭伤对整骨疗法医生提出了挑战，要求他们提高根据事故细节确定损伤的技能，并将肌筋膜松解治疗纳入传统的挥鞭伤治疗模式。幸运的是，许多备受尊敬的整骨疗法医生都就此主题进行了大量著述，现有的工具也可用于完善对急性和慢性挥鞭伤的治疗。
