What is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a soft tissue injury to the neck, such as a strain or a sprain. It may cause stiffness of the neck and minor pain associated with moving of the head. A whiplash injury will occur to the upper spine caused by a violent jerk of the head in either a backward or forward, or side-to-side direction. If you are injured in an accident, whiplash can take several days to appear. It is best to be checked out by a doctor right away.
What are Whiplash Symptoms?
The primary symptom of whiplash is neck pain and upper back pain, but other symptoms can occur such as tightness in the shoulders, decreased range of motion in your neck, and headaches. Leaving a whiplash injury untreated can cause many health problems in the future. If you have questions we have answers.
