Understanding Whiplash Injuries: Whiplash occurs when the neck is subjected to a rapid back-and-forth motion, often during a car accident. This can strain muscles, ligaments, and joints, causing symptoms like:
- Pain and stiffness in the neck and shoulders
- Headaches
- Limited range of motion
- Fatigue and dizziness
The effects of whiplash may not be immediately apparent, making early evaluation crucial to prevent long-term complications.
