(Medical-NewsWire.com, March 22, 2015 ) Titusville, FL -- There is approximately 3 million reported cases of whiplash injuries in the U.S. in any given year. Whiplash is caused by the abrupt force exerted on the neck, either forward or backward. Whiplash is usually caused by vehicular accidents, and playing contact sports. Among all permanent impairment claims, 60% are from whiplash injury victims; 10% of them eventually file for permanent disability.
Syrtenty® rubber or soft cervical traction device could hasten the healing process of neck strain from whiplash, and could ensure the recovery of patients.
Syrtenty® rubber neck traction device is mostly made of rubber with soft contact cloth on the chin rest to provide comfort to the patients. It inflates vertically, providing a gentle pull (depending on the preference of the user and doctor's recommendation) without feeling life threatening. On the other hand, Syrtenty® soft neck traction collar is made of suede-like material. It inflates both vertically and horizontally; thus, could serve as a neck pillow for light decompression.
Whiplash, also called "neck strain," is the tearing of the muscles or tendons that connect the neck to the bones. According to Mayo Clinic, the symptoms of whiplash include pain when moving the neck forward, backward, and from side to side; limited range of neck motion; tenderness or swelling; and headache that comes from the base of the skull. In addition to this, whiplash victims could also experience dizziness, blurred vision, ringing in the ear, and difficulty concentrating.
WebMD noted that these symptoms could show right after the accident, but to some people, these indicators manifest after several hours or days. If the pain is bearable, whiplash victims could employ the following first aids: ice the neck, take painkillers, get a massage, and use a neck collar. In the case these do not work, the patients would then need to undergo tests to make sure that the whiplash did not cause more serious concussions.
When choosing neck brace or collar, the patient should make sure that it will provide limited mobility to hasten the healing of the torn muscles in the neck. The neck collar should also be adjustable so that while the neck is healing, the patient could increase his/her range of motion. Syrtenty® neck traction device could be used to assist patients who are trying to recover from minor whiplash injury. It is available in rubber and in soft contact cloth.
