Brief excerpt from a talk by Aaron Hartman, MD explaining mechanisms of whiplash: initial neck injury stretches nerves which send signals to the spinal cord and may lead to centralized (central sensitization) chronic pain syndromes. The speaker notes links between whiplash and conditions like chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.

This is intriguing for one, because it actually helps understand, like, whiplash injury. And actually, the article talked about the ID whiplash injury, where you get, you know, the initial injury in your, in your neck, but the nerves that become stretched send signals to your spinal cord. And this is how these things become centralized. You develop centralized pain syndromes. I'll talk about the correlation with chronic fatigue and fibro here in a second.
