Whiplash is a common neck injury caused by a sudden and forceful movement of the head, often experienced during rear-end car collisions. The rapid jerking motion can damage the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the neck, leading to symptoms such as pain, stiffness, headaches, and reduced range of motion. While whiplash is often considered a minor injury, it can result in significant discomfort and long-term effects if not properly treated.
