What is Whiplash
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden, forceful back-and-forth movement of the head — often compared to the cracking of a whip. Symptoms may include:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches (often starting at the base of the skull)
- Dizziness or blurred vision
- Reduced range of motion in the neck
- Numbness and tingling in arm/hands
- Shoulder or upper back discomfort
- Other symptoms are also possible
Causes of Whiplash
Whiplash can result from:
- Auto accidents (rear-end collisions are the most common cause)
- Sports injuries (contact sports, falls, or sudden impacts)
- Workplace accidents (slips, trips, or heavy lifting mishaps)
- Recreational injuries (cycling, skiing, bumper cars, roller coasters, or other high-impact activities)
