Whiplash is a common neck injury that occurs when the head is suddenly jerked forward and backward, causing the neck muscles and ligaments to stretch beyond their normal range of motion. This injury is most often associated with car accidents, particularly rear-end collisions, but can also result from sports injuries, falls, or physical assaults. Symptoms of whiplash can vary, including neck pain and stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating. While many cases of whiplash resolve with proper treatment, some can lead to chronic pain and long-term complications, significantly affecting the victim’s quality of life.
