Welcome to Headfirst: A Concussion Podcast Episode 29: “Understanding Whiplash Associated Disorder & The Relationship with Concussion”
Whiplash Associated Disorder (WAD) is a complex condition resulting from the rapid acceleration-deceleration forces commonly experienced in motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, or other traumatic events. Primarily affecting the cervical spine, WAD encompasses a range of symptoms that can persist long after the initial injury sharing many characteristics with concussion. Understanding the multifaceted nature of WAD and how it is intertwined with concussion is essential for effective diagnosis and treatment. Join us as we unpack this relationship and much more.
