Abstract		Whiplash associated disorders are the most common injuries in traffic accidents. The clinical symptoms, treatment and prognosis are determined using a four degree Quebec classification scale. Patients in WAD I and WAD II stages are completely managed by their family physicians. Pain reduction, improvement of functional capacity and early return to work are the main goals of medical treatment. Objective clinical signs and symptoms and conditions at work are considered. The goal of multidisciplinary team management is to prevent the transition to the chronic pain phase.
Summary		Najpogostejše poškodbe v prometu so nihajne poškodbe mehkih tkiv vratne hrbtenice. Po Quebeški klasifikaciji so razdeljene v več stopenj, ki opredeljujejo klinično sliko, zdravljenje in napoved poteka bolezni. Zdravnik družinske medicine v celoti vodi poškodovance, lti sodijo v I. in II. stopnjo, načrtuje diagnostiko in zdravljenje. Cilji zdravljenja so zmanjšanje bolečin, dobra funkcijska sposobnost in zgodnja vrnitev na delovno mesto. Pri tem upoštevamo objektivno klinično sliko in obremenitve na delovnem mestu. Z obravnavo v okviru ekipe strokovnjakov različnih strok skušamo preprečiti prehod v kronično bolečinsko fazo.
