Neck sprains and strains are common injuries whether resulting from a friendly game of touch football or car accident. The question is, when is it time to see the doctor?
"My 9-year-old son has scoliosis. The doctor says the curve is mild and nothing needs to be done now. However, I'm concerned about his future. When might he need brace treatment and can you tell me more about it?"
"My car was rear-ended at a stop sign last week. Since then, my neck hurts, feels stiff, and I have upper back pain. My wife says it is whiplash and I should see a doctor."
