Abstract: Traumatic sprain injury to the cervical spine is often much more serious than many clinicians suspect. Some patients may recover uneventfully from a spinal ligament sprain injury, but a significant number will have pain which may last indefinitely. This depends upon the Grade (degree of seriousness) of the spinal sprain that is present [1,2]. The risk of developing chronic pain will be increased if a clinician is unable to find a physical cause of pain in these patients. X-ray, CT, and MRI scan imaging techniques may not be able to show the real source of pain from injury, leading to a non-specific diagnosis and incomplete and or improper clinical treatment of the more serious grades of injury [2].
