-[Work in process need to go take care of something right now]+In my car accident I was hit from the side causing my head to snap to my left hitting the area of my left ear on the door jamb, causing [[:resources:tbi|Traumatic Brain Injury]] and [[http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Whiplash/pages/introduction.aspx|Sideways Whiplash]].  Months prior  to the car accident I had fallen at work and had some X-Rays take.  Those X-Rays showed a [[https://www.google.com/search?q=normal+cervical+curve&tbm=isch|normal cervical curve]] of my neck.  I had no long time symptoms from that.  After the accident more X-Rays showed the bones of neck to be straight, like I had a ruler strapped to it! Hubby found that this type of sideways whiplash was common among football players and tracked down the doctors that worked with the [[http://www.steelers.com|Pittsburgh Steelers]].  I don't remember why now, we never did meet with those doctors.

 +Hubby in his usual annoying [[:kpaddock:my_reading_list#Relationships|Mr. Fix It]] mode came across //Soft-Tissue Review, 1996-2003//,  //Injury Resources Review, 2003-2006// and //The Guide to Whiplash// which we subscribed to for years.  Today the organization is known as [[http://www.injuryresources.com|Injury Resources]] today.  If you have Whiplash, and there is no real test to prove itjust like there is no current objective test to show that you are hungry (a type of pain), I highly recommend getting their books and publications.
  
-[[http://www.injuryresources.com/handout.php|{{ :resources:low_speed_collisions_handout.jpg }}]]+Sadly there is still little research into Sideways Whiplash injuries:
  
-Soft-Tissue Review, 1996-2003 +  * [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11313451|Variability in the control of head movements in seated humans: a link with whiplash injuries?]] 
-Injury Resources Review, 2003-2006 +  * [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18594456|Head-turned postures increase the risk of cervical facet capsule injury during whiplash]] 
- +  * [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2565616|Positive Cervical Artery Testing in a Patient with Chronic Whiplash Syndrome: Clinical Decision-Making in the Presence of Diagnostic Uncertainty]]
-I started to research the topic and found a wealth of scientific literature on whiplash. In 1993, I started writing about the topic and wrote my first book, The Guide to Whiplash, in 1995+
