The head and neck are supported by a complex system of ligaments and muscles that control movement and maintain posture. Ligaments are soft tissue bands that connect bone to bone. The intervertebral discs and spine are protected by the spine’s ligamentous system, which also prevents excessive movement of the head and neck.
The deep erector spinae or paraspinal muscle groups that run parallel to the spine make up the cervical spine’s muscular system. The neck and head also have larger and more superficial muscles that help move and protect them.
These ligaments and muscles can be damaged when the neck or spinal motion is pushed to its limits, such as in a car accident or a whiplash injury. Pain, soreness, loss of motion, and, if severe enough, joint instability can result from ligament sprains and muscle strains.
Spasms and pain in the head and neck muscles can be caused by irritation or injury to the spine’s structures. Symptoms may spread to the arms and hands as a result of this.
Dr Freeman and Dr Evan Jay are the best. They have been managing my pain for 15 years. The office staff is very efficient and caring.
Irritability, trouble sleeping, forgetfulness, lack of concentration, depression, ringing in the ears, and blurred vision are the less common whiplash symptoms.
If you suspect that you have suffered whiplash, first try avoiding the positions and activities that produce any pain. Some other treatments that are usually recommended include rest and immobilization, ice, physical therapy, and non-steroidal medications to reduce inflammation. If symptoms persist, treatment by your physician may be necessary. This may include steroidal medication or injections in conjunction with therapy.
Rest, ice, and painkillers may be enough to relieve pain in mild cases. We recommend starting physical therapy and developing a series of postural, stretching, and strengthening exercises to prevent the injury from recurring. To avoid aggravation or recurrence of symptoms, gradually increase the frequency, duration, volume, and intensity of activity.
Consult your healthcare provider if your symptoms persist. Your doctor will conduct a thorough examination to determine the underlying source, the affected structures, the severity of the condition, and the best treatment option.
Besides physical therapy, there are other procedures your doctor may recommend and perform, including:

I’ve been through numerous Pain Management Doctors/facilities, and can’t say enough about Dr. Freeman and his staff.

In all honesty, Dr. Freeman and his staff are the most courteous, professional and caring individuals I have dealt with over my extensive period of chronic pain.
