Whiplash

Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when the head is suddenly jerked backward and then forward, putting strain on the neck muscles and ligaments. It often happens in car accidents, particularly rear-end collisions, but can also occur during sports injuries, physical assaults, or other traumas. Symptoms of whiplash can include neck pain and stiffness, headaches, shoulder pain, dizziness, and fatigue. In severe cases, it can lead to more serious complications such as chronic pain or nerve damage.

Whiplash is a common injury that occurs due to sudden jerking of the head and neck, often resulting from car accidents or sports injuries.

What is Whiplash? Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when the head is suddenly jerked backward and then forward, causing strain on the muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissues of the neck. This rapid motion can lead to a range of symptoms, including neck pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and even cognitive difficulties in some cases.
