Abstract

Research shows that the annual incidence of whiplash injury in adolescents and adults is 3%~6%, and 50% of patients will still have persistent symptoms after one year, which means that the annual prevalence of chronic whiplash injury is increasing. At present, surgical treatment is commonly used for the acute stage of whiplash injury, and there is no commonly used treatment for the chronic recovery stage. Therefore, the role and efficacy of floating needle in chronic whiplash injury are discussed from two medical cases.
