Whiplash

Whiplash involves a sudden strain to the muscles, bones, discs, and nerves in the neck.  It happens when the head moves backward and then forward very quickly with significant force.  It commonly occurs as a result of motor vehicle accidents, however, can also be the result of activities such as dancing, or sports injuries. 

Symptoms of whiplash include neck pain and stiffness, shoulder pain, upper or low back pain, dizziness and headache.

Whiplash can be managed with physical therapy.  Your healthcare provider will evaluate your injury and design a treatment plan that is best suited to you and your recovery.
