Whiplash is an injury to the neck caused by a rapid back and forth jerking movement of the head that often results from a car, truck or SUV accident.

This sort of abrupt motion can have a physical impact on the body, causing damage to the muscles, discs, ligaments, tendons and nerve roots in the neck or areas connected to the neck. The results of this damage are collectively called whiplash.

The most common causes of whiplash are:

1. Car accidents, especially rear-end and head-on collisions;
2. Truck accidents;
3. Bicycle accidents;
4. Contact sports;
5. Roller coaster rides; or
6. Physical abuse, such as being shaken or a blow to the head.

Whiplash symptoms are primarily localized to the neck and areas that physically connect to the neck. The Mayo Clinic provides a detailed list of the symptoms of whiplash.

The most common symptoms of whiplash include:

1. Pain or stiffness in the neck, shoulders, upper back or upper arms;
2. Pain when moving your neck or loss of range of motion in your neck;
3. Headaches, primarily at the base of the skull or at the back of the head;
4. Tingling or numbness in your arms or fingers, possibly radiating from your neck; or
5. Fatigue or dizziness.

Less common symptoms of whiplash include:

1. Blurred vision;
2. Ringing in the ears;
3. Irritability or depression; or
4. Difficulty sleeping, concentrating or remembering things.

Symptoms typically manifest within the first 24 hours following an accident. In most cases the pain goes away within a few weeks, but it is possible that some symptoms will continue into the months following an accident. The duration of symptoms depends on the severity of the accident and a person’s age, physical condition and medical history.

Whiplash may seem minor, but if you believe you have experienced whiplash it is important to seek medical attention for the following reasons:

1. Undiagnosed whiplash can lead to reinjury and prolong the recovery period;
2. Medical professionals can rule out more serious injuries or conditions that may present similarly to whiplash; and
3. Medical professionals can recommend further treatment, such as physical therapy, that may be necessary for the recovery process.

If you are experiencing the symptoms of whiplash after an accident, you should seek immediate medical treatment with a hospital, urgent care facility or your primary care physician. In most cases, first responders to a motor vehicle accident may recommend an emergency room visit for prompt care if you experience immediate neck or back pain following a collision. Seeking medical treatment will allow a doctor to determine if you are suffering from whiplash or a more serious condition.

Seeking medical help is often expensive and the costs can continue to accumulate long after you leave the doctor’s office. If your whiplash injury is the result of a car accident where another driver was at fault, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost time from work and pain and suffering.
