we took Whiplash patients every single one of them had been denied compensation because they're now more than two years post Whiplash they still continue have symptoms the medical profession and the legal system was declaring them pain magnifiers they were exacerbating their pain for financial gain terrible the mrss said there's no reason for your pain really the Mr is a static picture what do you expect so we took video fluroscopy which you know is a real-time moving x-ray so we're watching the bones move now and we would have them move through their pain and their pain wasn't very rarely at the end range of motion it was actually somewhere in the middle of the range and they would move their head like this and then the spine would clunk and then they go and then they continue to move through on the video fluroscopy we watch the rotations occurring between every vertebra but we know what instability is it's when the rotation stops and the shear begins so the ratio of rotation and Shear is the marker of that cervical instability so if I can just show with my hands here would be the neck moving rotating well and then it would clunk it was the clunk that corresponded 100% with the shot of pain
