🎙️ Is whiplash just a musculoskeletal issue—or are we missing something bigger?

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Annina Schmid and Dr. Joel Fundaun—two of the world’s leading researchers on nerve involvement in whiplash. They reveal the surprising evidence from recent studies showing that many patients with Grade II whiplash have signs of neuropathic pain, nerve inflammation, and sensory loss—and they share simple ways frontline clinicians can catch it early.

✅ Learn how small fiber deficits, neurodynamic testing, and bedside tools like pinprick and thermal tests can help
✅ Find out why current guidelines may under-treat nerve involvement in whiplash
✅ Hear how to reframe rehab beyond musculoskeletal care

Whether you’re a PT, physician, or pain researcher, this episode bridges the gap between clinical research and real-world application.
