What is a whiplash injury?

Whiplash is most often caused by an impact, which causes the head to be thrown backwards whilst the body travels forwards. This may then be followed by the head getting thrown forwards.

It takes a very short amount of time for a whiplash injury to occur in an accident.

It is extremely rare for bones in the neck to be damaged when a whiplash injury occurs. It is normally the muscles, joints and ligaments and other soft tissue that suffers.

Whiplash symptoms

Whiplash Disorders can include a whole range of symptoms, including neck pain, restricted movement, shoulder pain, tingling or heaviness in the arms, dizziness, and tinnitus.
