Whiplash

Most commonly related to car accidents, whiplash is a nonmedical term that describes the neck pain associated with an injury to the ligaments, tendons, or muscles in your neck. Whiplash can also occur in sporting events, assault, and accidental falls when an individual experiences a jerking motion of the head. Doctors may diagnose this trauma as a cervical sprain or hyperextension injury.

Symptoms of Whiplash

Many symptoms of whiplash may not present themselves until one or more days after the initial accident, so you may not be able to appreciate the full extent of the harm that you have suffered until you have left the scene of the incident. Those who suffer from whiplash will usually experience one or more of the following:

• Severe neck pain
• Lower back pain and stiffness
• Headaches, ringing in the ears, or blurred vision
• Irritability or fatigue
• Trouble sleeping and difficulty concentrating
• Dizziness

There is no proven treatment for whiplash but most people take over-the-counter pain medications along with physical therapy or massages to help with the pain. In severe cases, an individual may be so stricken that he or she is unable to work, introducing additional complications stemming from the injury.
