What is Whiplash?

Whiplash is a type of injury that affects the soft tissue in the neck. It is primarily caused in car accidents and occurs when the sudden force of impact causes the victim's head to move forward and backward or side to side. This violent motion can cause the tendons and muscles in the neck to become stretched or twisted, resulting in temporary or lasting damage. Depending on the extent of injury, whiplash may result in pain and stiffness of the neck. The pain may radiate through the shoulders and may create various issues for the victim, possibly even leading to an inability to work or participate in usual activities.
