WHIPLASH INJURY

Whiplash is a relatively common injury that occurs to a person’s neck following a sudden acceleration-deceleration force that causes unrestrained, rapid forward and backward movement of the head and neck, most commonly from motor vehicle accidents. Common symptoms include neck pain and stiffness, headache, shoulder pain, dizziness, radiating pain to the arms, numbness and tingling, and visual disturbances. Whiplash pain can resolve slowly over time or can persist for many years but it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible.
