This helps us better understand your individual needs and develop a personalized treatment plan to support your recovery.
What Causes Whiplash?
Whiplash occurs when the head is suddenly and forcefully moved back and forth, causing strain to the muscles, ligaments, joints, and other structures of the neck. This can lead to symptoms such as neck pain and stiffness, headaches, shoulder or upper back pain, and reduced range of motion.
Whiplash can result from:
Motor vehicle accidents, particularly rear-end collisions
Sports-related impacts
Falls
Other sudden forces that cause the neck to move rapidly back and forth
Other types of trauma to the neck
What Are the Symptoms of Whiplash?
Whiplash symptoms can vary from person to person and may develop immediately after an injury or become more noticeable over the following days.
Common symptoms can include:
Neck pain and stiffness
Reduced range of motion in the neck
Shoulder and upper back pain
Muscle tenderness or tightness
Dizziness or fatigue
Tingling or numbness in the arms
Headaches, especially near the base of the skull
If symptoms persist or worsen after an injury, it’s important to seek a professional evaluation.
