Hour 1: Low Speed Collisions and Minor Vehicle Damage 

• Point out the mathematics of how a low-speed vehicle to vehicle collision can result in passenger injury. 
• Explain why vehicle damage should not be used as a proxy for passenger injury. 

Hour 2: Assessing Instability

• Show the mechanism for traumatically induced cervical spine instability. 
• Show a practical assessment for traumatically induced cervical spine instability. 

Hour 3: Cervical Angina 

• Whiplash induced cervical spine nerve root irritations can mimic cardiac events. 
• Point out the anatomical basis for cervical spine nerve root irritations causing angina. 
• Discuss the management of cervical angina. 

Hour 4: The General Principles of Pain Management 

• Explain the chiropractic adjustment as related to the Gate Theory of Pain. 
• Detail the chiropractic management of eicosanoids and cytokines as related to conservative care. 

Hour 5: Measurement Outcomes 

• Explain the use of measure outcomes to determine patient progress and establish maximum improvement. 
• Review the 3 most commonly used measurement outcomes used for the whiplash-injured patient. 

Hour 6: Treatment Duration, Frequency, and Prognosis 

• Summarize the biology and published data on treatment frequency and duration for whiplash spinal trauma. 
• Reference the incidence of acceleration of spondylosis in long-term studies following a whiplash injury.
