Whiplash is a common neck and/or back injury that is usually the result of rapid acceleration or speeding up quickly or sudden slowing or stopping, called deceleration. A whiplash injury is most commonly caused by the motion made by a vehicle accident. In a sudden deceleration the head is normally thrown forward rather suddenly and violently. This motion puts a brief but very severe strain on the neck. This stretches the muscles and the ligaments in the neck. This already traumatic series of motions are the normally followed by a reflex contraction of the muscles, which then results in the head being jerked in the opposite direction. The resulting whiplash injury can be the cause of a serious disruption on a person's ability to go about the regular tasks of everyday life.In a whiplash injury the soft tissues and sometimes even the vertebrae are severely affected.

Egyptians Have Hit The Streets In Massive Protest! Amid massive protest over Food, Unemployment, and a 30yr regime, the Egyptian government has banned the internet and cell phones, among other things.
