Whiplash Injury

Whiplash Injury

 

Whiplash injury is an injury that results from sudden acceleration-deceleration forces on the neck. The term encompasses various issues affecting muscles, joints, bones, ligaments, discs and nerves. The most common cause for whiplash is a motor vehicle accident.

 

 

Sign and symptoms of whiplash injury

 

The most commonly reported symptom is neck pain or stiffness. This can occur anywhere from immediately after the injury to several days later.

Symptoms may also include:

  • Neck pain or stiffness
  • Headache
  • Shoulder pain, arm pain or upper back pain.
  • Dizziness
  • Altered sensation
  • Weakness
  • Visual disturbances
  • Hearing difficulties
  • Difficulty speaking or swallowing
  • Difficulty concentrating
