Local Doctor Earns Highest Certification in Whiplash Injury Biomechanics & Traumatology
Did you know that over three million whiplash injuries occur each year as a result of motor vehicle crashes? Of these, 500,000 individuals will experience chronic problems, and up to 300,000 will face some degree of disability. Beyond the personal impact, whiplash injuries carry a significant societal cost, with approximately $43 billion annually attributed to whiplash and related injuries. This figure is based on HARM, a metric used to quantify the total societal cost of road trauma.
Dr. Jimmy R. Sayegh of Elevate Chiropractic emphasizes the importance of educating consumers about whiplash—not only regarding its treatment but also its prevention. To provide the highest level of care for patients involved in motor vehicle crashes, Dr. Sayegh recently achieved advanced certification in Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology through the Spine Research Institute of San Diego (SRISD). For over 22 years, SRISD has been a leader in research and education focused on the spinal injuries and mild traumatic brain injuries commonly sustained in everyday motor vehicle crashes.
Through this program, Dr. Sayegh gained extensive knowledge in the epidemiology of whiplash and brain injuries, the mechanical factors involved in motor vehicle crashes, and the broad spectrum of physical injuries and clinical conditions that can result. He also learned to perform comprehensive physical examinations and apply advanced imaging technologies such as CT, MRI, and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Dr. Sayegh’s training equips him to offer patients the most effective and comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation strategies, ensuring the best possible outcomes. Additionally, the program included in-depth discussions of forensic risk analysis, examining how various risk factors influence the likelihood of injury or long-term symptoms.
By understanding the complex biomechanics of whiplash trauma, Dr. Sayegh can administer more effective diagnostic and treatment methods in the clinical setting. This ensures that patients not only receive superior care but also achieve optimal recovery outcomes.

Spinal Injuries and Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries are on the Rise
While fatalities from motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) have reached an all-time low in recent years, thanks to innovations such as laminated windshields, collapsible steering wheels, advanced restraint systems, and increasingly crashworthy vehicle structures, these statistics tell only part of the story.
The less-publicized reality is the millions of non-fatal crashes that occur annually, raising the comprehensive economic cost of MVCs to over $346 billion per year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). A significant portion of these collisions—many occurring at speed changes of less than 15 mph—result in injuries, with three million cases of whiplash-type injuries reported annually, as noted by the Spine Research Institute of San Diego (SRISD). These injuries alone contribute approximately $43 billion, or 12%, to the overall cost of MVCs.
Recognizing the impact of whiplash injuries, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluates and ranks the safety of vehicles specifically for whiplash protection. Without a strong rating in this category, a vehicle cannot earn the prestigious IIHS Top Safety Pick award.
So why are whiplash injuries so costly? Nearly half of all whiplash victims require prolonged treatment and suffer long-term symptoms. Many also experience mild traumatic brain injuries (MTBI), and approximately 10% of victims become permanently disabled. Compounding the issue is the fact that most physicians lack the specialized training required to provide effective treatment for these injuries.
Dr. Jimmy R. Sayegh of Elevate Chiropractic has achieved advanced certification in Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology through the SRISD, distinguishing him as an expert in this highly specialized field. This certification encompasses an in-depth understanding of the physics of crash mechanics, occupant kinematics (the movements caused by a crash), and the latest diagnostic methods and treatment approaches.
For over 15 years, the Spine Research Institute of San Diego has conferred this prestigious certification to only 100 physicians annually, ensuring that patients receive care from the most highly trained experts in the field. Dr. Sayegh’s expertise allows him to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care for whiplash injuries, helping patients achieve optimal recovery outcomes.
