The ligament damage caused by Arctic Blast a whiplash injury is a good example of mechanical instability that causes chronic pain.A type of injury we all have heard of is "Whiplash". The jolt of an auto accident whips the head back and forth. Researchers who first studied these injuries used the analogy of cracking a whip. With the jolt of the crash our head snaps back and forth like the end of a whip. This whipping motion can overstretch and injure the ligaments that hold the bones in our neck together. And in fact, in whiplash there is often a tearing of the deep ligaments of the neck that hold the bones together. In the example of the knee joint we just talked about we were speaking of just one joint. In the neck were talking about eight bones and sixteen joints. If the healing process is not optimal, then the same type of instability that we saw in the knee can develop in the neck.The neck X-rays of people who have been in an automobile accident and suffered a "whiplash" injury show the mechanical instability that results. Often after such an injury, the normal curve in the neck flattens or reverses. This is because the overstretched (injured) ligaments can no longer hold the bones of the neck in their proper position.X-Ray movies are a good way to actually see mechanical instability in joints
