What Causes Whiplash and what are the Symptoms?

When the sudden impact of an auto accident abruptly “whips” the neck back and forth in an unexpected jerking motion, this is called whiplash. This unfortunate injury can cause neck pain and in some cases, even damage to the cervical spine. Whiplash has typical symptoms that occur after the accident including damage to the joints located between the vertebrae, torn or stretched ligaments, discs, headaches, dizziness, shoulder pain and/or pain between the shoulder blades, sore cervical muscles, and sensitive nerve endings.

Most whiplash injuries are found in the muscles, discs, and ligaments and therefore specialized imaging, such as CAT scans or MRI’s are needed properly diagnose the damage to these soft tissue areas that are likely causing the pain and symptoms.

Victims of whiplash should be aware that some of the symptoms of whiplash are not immediately apparent right after an auto accident. Symptoms can actually be delayed for a day or more after the accident, so auto wreck victims are urged to visit a chiropractor immediately to access any potential damage and seek whiplash treatment as soon as possible.
