Whiplash injury is a swift and sudden movement of the neck that leads to damage. This trauma often results from car accidents, contact sports, physical abuse, or falls where the neck is jerked backwards then quickly forwards causing pain due to stretching and tearing of soft tissues in the neck. Surprisingly for many, symptoms may not appear straight away, appearing hours or even days post-injury, making initial recognition challenging. Brace yourself for an exploration into this complex condition.
Common symptoms of whiplash injury may include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, shoulder and upper back pain, tingling or numbness in the arms, fatigue, dizziness, and difficulty sleeping. It's important to seek prompt medical evaluation if you experience these symptoms following any traumatic event. Call us at (972) 987-6194 to make an appointment or make your appointment online.
