Whiplash is a neck injury from a forceful back and forth movement of the neck
The main cause for a whiplash is usually from a motor vehicle collision but can also occur by other means. Neck pain, muscle spasms, stiffness, decrease of range of motion, headaches, fatigue, dizziness and shooting (radiating) pain are just some of the symptoms of a whiplash injury. Patients may also experience more severe symptoms like blurred vision, difficulty sleeping, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, ringing in the ears, and depression.
