Understanding Whiplash: More Than Just Neck Pain
Whiplash injuries occur when your head is suddenly jerked forward and backward during impact. This violent motion can cause:
- Misalignment of vertebrae in your neck and spine
- Damage to discs between vertebrae
- Injury to muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissues
- Nerve impingement causing pain, numbness, or tingling
- Reduced range of motion and mobility
The concerning reality is that whiplash symptoms often don't appear immediately. The body's natural stress response masks pain with adrenaline, leading many to believe they escaped injury. Hours or days later, stiffness develops, potentially evolving into debilitating pain, sleep disruption, headaches, and difficulty with daily activities.
When left untreated, auto accident injuries can develop into:
-
Chronic neck and back pain
-
Recurring headaches
-
Premature spinal degeneration
-
Long-term mobility restrictions
-
Persistent nerve damage affecting multiple body systems
