In Regards to Margaret's Post

[Guest guest]

Greetings Marg: It has been very slow with only a few posts these last

four days. Although this is a chronic pain list I saw something on

Canadian television that I think is worthwhile and so I am posting a

synopsis for all to read.

I am not aware of how many on this list drive or have access to

vehicles, but this may affect not only you, but all of your close

friends. Please advise them to check the level of the head rests that

are installed in the vehicles they drive and ride in to prevent whiplash

accidents.

I was watching a television show called " Marketplace " last night and

they covered the issue of whiplash accidents and the pain that can

result from these injuries. Head restraints are supposed to be raised

so that they are up and level with the back of the head of both the

driver and the passenger. If not this could cause major damage to the

upper neck and back which could lead to Chronic pain. Most of the

whiplash accidents occur when there are rear-end collisions. Once this

damage occurs it is very difficult and sometimes impossible to recover

from.

Blessings' & Peace
