Understanding Whiplash: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment Options
Get Lasting Relief After an Auto Accident or Neck Injury
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden, forceful back-and-forth motion — often resulting from car accidents, sports impacts, or falls. While symptoms may not appear right away, untreated whiplash can lead to long-term pain, reduced mobility, and chronic headaches.
Common Symptoms of Whiplash:
Neck pain or stiffness
Headaches (often starting at the base of the skull)
Shoulder and upper back pain
Dizziness or blurred vision
Reduced range of motion
Fatigue or difficulty concentrating
If you’ve recently been in a car accident or experienced a sudden jolt, it’s important to seek care — even if you feel “okay” right now.
