Most clinicians were taught that whiplash is a simple flexion–extension injury. Reality check: it’s not. Whiplash is a complex, multi-tissue, multi-phase injury—and if you’re still viewing it through a 1990s lens, you’re missing what actually drives chronic pain, failed recoveries, and frustrated patients.This course pulls whiplash out of the “soft tissue sprain” box and reframes it through modern biomechanics, tissue loading patterns, and real-world clinical relevance—so you can evaluate and manage these cases with confidence. Whiplash patients don’t fail care because they’re “non-compliant”—they fail because the injury is misunderstood. This is evident in the fact that imaging often looks “normal,” yet symptoms persist. You will learn how and what early management decisions can determine whether a case resolves or becomes chronic.This course gives you the mechanistic clarity needed to connect crash physics to tissue injury, exam findings, and smarter chiropractic decision-making.
