Whiplash is a common injury that occurs when the neck is suddenly jolted forward and backward, typically during car accidents, especially rear-end collisions. This rapid motion can cause damage to the soft tissues in the neck, leading to pain, stiffness, and a reduced range of motion. Other symptoms of whiplash may include headaches, dizziness, and tingling in the arms. While whiplash is often considered a minor injury, it can lead to chronic pain and long-term complications if not treated properly. Diagnosis and treatment may involve physical therapy, medication, and in some cases, more intensive medical interventions.
