For Questions Call/Text Dr. Jimenez Personally @ 915-540-8444 or Contact Us @ 915-850-0900 Whiplash refers to a soft-tissue injury of the cervical spine, or neck, caused by a strong, abrupt, back-and- forth movement of the head, typically caused by an automobile accident, although this type of injury can also be the result of a sports accident or other trauma. Several studies suggest that up to 43% of individuals generally suffer from long-term symptoms following a whiplash injury.

In runners for example, a strong core can prevent injuries to other joints including the hips and knees. In cyclists, a strong core is essential to apply power to each pedal. And finally, skiers depend on a strong core to allow them to continue supplying their body with energy for longer distances while reducing the effort on the rest of the body. Essentially, having a strong core helps stabilize the body to allow the individual to perform to their fullest capacity. Strong back and abdominal muscles ultimately improve agility, stamina, and strength.
