Il flick (O distortion of the cervical spine) is cervical trauma (and road trauma) more common.

When trauma is strong, le long-term consequences Whiplash can be very significant in terms of cervical pain, cefalea e dizziness, with major repercussions on quality of life.

The main feature of the flick and the damage to the ligaments and muscles, that is, the so-called soft tissue.

Muscles and ligaments undergo a sharp stretch, and consequently they weaken and lesionano.

This situation of damage causes an immediate (gives 1 a 4 days) stiffening of the whole surrounding musculature, in order to "lock" the damaged segment.

As a result you can have a series of sintomi immediate (which, however, often they appear only after a few days), which they tend to disappear in two months.

Very often, even after all the physiotherapy necessary, the symptoms seem to persist: it is not uncommon to hear people tell you that "their cervical began with the incident".

This dragging of long-term symptoms and consequences after a whiplash basically happens for two reasons:

• the trauma may have been very strong and have caused significant damage, that the body is able to repair only in part
• the trauma was not strong but cervical situation was already rigid and problematic, without the person being aware of it. The system that controls the posture still could not hold off the problems that were emerging. In this case the trauma goes to disrupt a precarious balance, accelerating a process that would have occurred anyway.

SYMPTOMS OF IMMEDIATE WHIP SHOT

• nausea
• cervical pain
• mal di testa
• vertigo and dizziness
• poor eyesight

SYMPTOMS OF TIME AND LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES OF THE WHIP SHOT

The symptoms and consequences in the long term more often complained by patients cervical pain, muscle tension-type headache and dizziness.

These symptoms are always the expression of strong rigidity of the neck muscles, in particular the trapeze, who can not roll back to the trauma.

The cervical muscles terminate at the occiput, just where they begin the muscles of the neck and skull: that's why a strong cervical muscle tension can easily result in headaches.

Look at the image below: where "it ends" trapeze "starts" the occipital-frontal muscle, which effectively ends the ocular orbit.

In time, stiffness of muscles causes a altered mechanics of vertebrae: here is that the radiological exams (tac, resonance, radiograph) They may be visible, in addition to the persistence of the aforementioned rettilineizzazione, signs of discopatia and of arthrosis.
