"Whiplash - a soft tissue injury to the neck is also called neck sprain or neck strain. It is characterized by a collection of symptoms that occur following damage to the neck, usually because of sudden extension and flexion.
The disorder commonly occurs as the result of an automobile accident and may include injury to intervertebral joints, discs, and ligaments, cervical muscles and nerve roots."
Whiplash and Crash Forensics
Every collision is unquie and every persons injuries will vary dependent on a number of factors including force, collision vector and risk factors. Dr. Mazzarella and Dr. Marek have taken over 500 hours of training in Whiplash and Motor Vehicle Trauma training.
In addition, Dr. Mazzarella has participated in Live Full Scale Human Volunteer and Bio-Rid Dummy Crash Testing research in order to understand the unique injury mechanisms and occupant kinematics that occur in individual crashes. This training has led to Dr. Mazzarella's certification in Motor Vehicle Crash Forensic Risk Analysis. Examples of this research are provided below. Please see our Whiplash Treatment Page for additional information.
