The result of more cars on the road than ever before means the number of accidents has increased. The number of neck injuries has grown as well. The neck pain associated with whiplash can range from minor to significant. While whiplash often happens due to car accidents, it can also occur because of a fall or sports-related injury.
Whiplash creates a hyperextension of the cervical spine. It’s more common when a driver has a rear-end collision than in other types of crashes. This type of neck injury can damage both your upper and lower cervical spine. The seriousness of your symptoms depends on the velocity of the impact. The size of the car that hit you also plays a factor in your injury. Age-related disc degeneration in your neck can make this trauma to the spine even more severe.
Anytime you have an automobile accident, it creates stress. The capable team with the Spine & Rehab Group provides excellent treatment after a definitive diagnosis. Dr. Amr Hosny and his team of spine experts help reduce the stress in your neck by offering exceptional whiplash injury treatment.

Even if the accident seems inconsequential, get a checkup from your spine doctor as soon as possible. Seek whiplash treatment from a specialized neck injury doctor if you hear a crunching sound coming from your spine or if you’re experiencing pain. The longer you suffer, the likelihood of feeling discomfort for prolonged periods increases. Untreated, whiplash neck injuries can lead to serious consequences, including:
Whiplash injury treatment takes into account many variables. Your neck injury doctor knows whiplash has both a physical and psychological impact. To meet your individual needs, your specialist records a thorough assessment and self-history. Your spine doctor confirms a diagnosis and the level of the injury with imaging tests. Additionally, you may need support for the psychological trauma you experienced to prevent consequences such as:
Sometimes, the strain placed on your neck due to whiplash can cause a concussion. A concussion is dangerous and needs immediate medical attention. Signs you may have a concussion include:
My husband and I have been with Dr Hosny for years. He has totally kept my husband from requiring major neck surgery, which had been recommended by a few other physicians. We appreciate Summer, Dr Chu and the rest of the staff for their kindness and interest in their patients. I am an ER Nurse and continue to refer other patients to this facility. He is well respected within the medical profession.
BG MAM ★★★★★I selected The Spine & Rehab Group because of the great reviews I saw online and I have not been disappointed. I highly recommend them. Professional, caring and knowledgeable are the words that come to mind. Carol is a miracle worker. She is patient and takes time to ask questions so that she better understands your pain and her bedside manner really puts me at ease. I have seen her for two different issues—neck and leg—and both times she was able to significantly reduce my pain level. I have also implemented several of her suggestions at home to reduce pain re-occurrence. Ruby, who has assisted with therapy and exercises is also great. Overall, the staff is fantastic. I have always been treated with kindness and respect.
