The sacral spine is particularly at risk due to the whiplash that frequently follows vehicle accidents. The following claim is false.

Whiplash injury:

  • Injuries to the brainstem that do not directly affect the head or neck are also classified as whiplash injuries and are not just limited to neck injuries. The most frequent complaints related to whiplash injuries include cervical discomfort, headaches, and scapulodynia. Dizziness and vertigo are also noted in 27% -52% of the patients.
  • Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is utilized in otoneurologic examinations to assess vertebrobasilar hemodynamics in patients who report dizziness and vertigo.
  • According to reports, cervical manipulation causes cerebral and cerebellum ischemia and infarction due to vertebrobasilar artery insufficiency (VBI). Using MRA, doctors investigated the relationship between vertigo or dizziness and the difference between the vertebral arteries on the right and left sides following whiplash injury.

Therefore the questioned statement is false.
