Whiplash is the term given when sudden forward, backward or sideways movements of the head and neck occur, usually as the result of a road traffic, sporting or work accident. Symptoms from a whiplash injury do not always occur immediately after the accident. It can take years for symptoms to develop, and sometimes, people will not seek treatment until complications such as osteoarthritis and premature disc degeneration have developed.
Tennis elbow is one the most common and the most painful conditions encountered. It is usually associated with inflammation of the forearm muscle and tissue surrounding the elbow joint.
Neck pain is one of the most common complaints seen by chiropractors. Much of this is due to problems with the muscles or joints of the neck brought on by the poor posture, stress or awkward lifting/carrying that we all experience every day. Surprisingly it is often inactivity such as long periods using a computer, driving or sitting still watching TV that brings on neck pain. It is not unusual for the pain from neck problems to be felt elsewhere such as into the head, down the back or into the shoulder.
