The fact that the total costs incurred in relation to whiplash injury in the USA is reaching $29 billion a year ( Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy, May 2009) makes this topic highly important. Some of the chronic conditions that can result from untreated or improperly treated whiplash injuries include headaches, jaw pain(TMD), neck pain, back pain, and premature degenerative arthritis.
