Recently I became certified in Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology through the Spine Research Institute of San Diego (SRISD), a research center devoted to the investigation of motor vehicle crash injury. As part of this intensive 48-hour training program, I became familiar with the epidemiology of whiplash and brain injuries, the mechanical factors of motor vehicle crashes, and the wide range of physical injuries and clinical conditions that can occur. Dr. Croft of SRISD trained his students on how to provide patients with the most effective and comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation strategies to ensure optimal outcome potential.
