Whiplash is a painful neck injury caused by a rapid, forceful back-and-forth movement of the head, most commonly sustained during rear-end car collisions. This sudden acceleration-deceleration force stretches, strains, and tears the delicate soft tissues, ligaments, and muscles throughout your cervical spine.
Common Symptoms of Whiplash
- Neck pain and severe structural stiffness that frequently worsens days after the crash
- Unexplained dizziness, blurred vision, or continuous low-grade fatigue Pain radiating down into your upper back, shoulder blades, or arms
- Persistent tension headaches starting at the very base of the skull
