<a href='http://www.wellness.com'>Wellness.com</a> - <a href='https://www.wellness.com/blog/22704/whiplash-under-diagnosed-and-under-treated/drkent'>Whiplash under diagnosed , and under treated!</a> by <a href='https://www.wellness.com/user/60159/drkent'>drkent</a><br/><br/>28 years of practice experience has proven time and toime again, that whiplash type injuries (auto, falls, impact injury) is often mis diagnosed via absence of x-ray examination supported by a thorough physical examination and history of injury. Often medical non-weight bearing x-ray films are under read by the radiologist, ignoring joint positioning, normal alignment, and ligament injury due to subluxation patterns of the vertabra positions.<br/><br/>In chronic headache patients, it is very common to see old injury patterns on x-rays, causing the current cervico-genic (neck causation) headache complaints.<br/><br/>Lack of training by the medical system regarding ligament assessment via x-rays is rampant in E.R. rooms across America. There is significant scientific data supporting the value of assessing the patient injury via x-ray study. Sadly, many Chiropractors have been influenced by "managed care" Insurance companies (PPO, HMO, etc) to shy away from this valuable tool in properly evaluating a patients condition. The result is a proper treatment plan with measurable outcome assessment standards via x-ray and examination.
