The present study, to our knowledge, is the first comparative MRI study to use dMRI among whiplash patients and controls. The results show that whiplash patient with long standing symptoms have both more signals from the alar ligaments and more abnormal movement in the dMRI at the C0-C2 level than controls.
This study raises a question of whether static MRIs can rule out potential pain generators such as traumatic insult to cervical ligaments. For the physician who is trying to better understand and diagnose their trauma patient’s chronic cervical pain, ligament injuries are an area worthy of greater attention. At Adler Giersch, ps we know that our clients’ injuries are real and have the knowledge and advocacy abilities to prove it.
