Our Client Suffered Whiplash In A Car Wreck. Her Headaches

Our client suffered whiplash in a car wreck. Her headaches and neck pain which she had suffered from previously and had been treated for became debilitating after the accident. After many trips to Dr.s we finally got her in with a neurologist She found out she had Chiari; however her previous CT scans, MRI;s X-rays had not shown this problem. She has now had 2 brain surgeries, the first for Chiari the second for infection from the first surgery. Is it possible the whiplash triggered and exasperated the symptoms?
