Understanding Whiplash
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a rapid back-and-forth movement of the head, most commonly occurring during rear-end car accidents. The sudden force strains the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the cervical spine, and symptoms can range from mild stiffness to severe, chronic pain.
Many whiplash symptoms do not appear until hours or even days after an accident, which is why prompt evaluation is critical. At Skandy Accident Injury Centers, we specialize in identifying and treating whiplash injuries early to prevent long-term complications and support your personal injury claim.
Symptoms of Whiplash
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches starting at the base of the skull
- Shoulder and upper back pain
- Dizziness and fatigue
- Blurred vision
- Tingling or numbness in the arms
- Difficulty concentrating or memory problems
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
