What is Whiplash?
It describes a soft tissue injury to your neck resulting from a sudden trauma to your neck. In simple terms, whiplash is neck strain. While it most commonly results from a car accident, any blow or impact that results in your head jerking forward or backwards can cause neck strain. The sudden force tears and stretches muscles and tendons in your neck and can be quite painful. It can be felt immediately after a motor vehicle accident, or even 2 to 3 days following the accident.
Symptoms of Whiplash
There is a very wide range of symptoms associated with whiplash, and it is important to note that not all of the symptoms can be immediately traced to whiplash. Even if a health professional has cleared you, your pain could still be traced to whiplash, and you could require treatment to fix the problem. Symptoms of include:
- Neck pain
