What is Whiplash Injury?
Whiplash injury is a neck injury. It happens when the head is jerked forward and then backward suddenly and forcefully. This causes damage to the neck’s soft tissues, such as muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Car accidents are the most common cause of whiplash injuries. They can also result from workplace injuries, sports injuries, falls, and physical assaults. Symptoms of whiplash injury can include neck pain, headache, dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. In some cases, whiplash injury can also cause symptoms such as memory problems, sleep disturbances, and irritability.

Whiplash injury can have several effects on the body, including:
- Neck pain and stiffness: Whiplash injury can cause pain and stiffness in the neck, making it difficult to move the head in certain directions.
