Questions about Whiplash

What is Whiplash?

Whiplash is an injury to the muscles and ligaments in the neck and upper back that occurs when the head and neck are suddenly and forcefully jerked back and forth or side to side. This rapid movement causes the cervical spine (the neck region) to experience acceleration and deceleration forces, resulting in damage to the muscles, ligaments, and tendons of the neck, upper back, and shoulder area.

Whiplash is most commonly caused by rear-end car accidents, but it can also occur in other types of accidents, such as sports injuries, falls, and physical assaults.
