What is Whiplash Injury
Whiplash injury or also known as neck sprain or strain is a neck injury that often occurs by an impact or blow that causes your head to jerk forward or backward. This sudden back and forth movement of neck can cause neck strain and also tears the muscle and tendons in your neck.
Although it is usually associated with car accidents, but the injury can also result from a sports accident, physical abuse or other trauma.
Most common signs and symptoms of whiplash can include neck pain, stiffness and headaches. In some condition, patient with mild injury will get better within a few week by following some treatment and medication. However, some people with severe injury can have a chronic neck pain and other long lasting complication.
The impact that causes neck strain can sometimes cause a concussion. Since a concussion can be serious, you maybe will need to see a doctor right away.
