What is a Whiplash Injury?

Whiplash, also known as a neck sprain, is the name given to a variety of symptoms that occur when the neck jolts or snaps after an accident or injury, resulting in the muscles and tendons in the neck to be suddenly stretched and torn. The most frequent cause of Whiplash is a car accident; however, the speed of the vehicles involved or the level of physical damage to the car may not correlate to the intensity of neck injury. Contact sport injuries, falls, and blows to the head, and sudden holts of the head are other common causes of Whiplash.

What are the Symptoms of Whiplash Injuries?

Although sometimes pain as a result of whiplash injury is immediate, in some cases, it can take several hours or days before you feel pain. However, the symptoms of whiplash are often hard to ignore. Symptoms include, but are not limited to: pain, stiffness, tenderness, difficulty concentrating , ringing in the ears (Tinnitus), jaw tightness or trouble chewing, decreased, range of motion  and tightness in the neck muscles

Less severe whiplash injuries are typically limited to soft tissue injuries such as muscles, ligaments and tendons, and treatment is directed primarily at symptom relief. However, severe neck injuries associated with bone or spinal damage may require surgical intervention.

Whiplash treatment begins with questions about the event and your symptoms. Your answers will help your physiotherapist to understand the frequency and severity of your symptoms, and allow them to formulate a treatment plan that is best suited for you.

During your examination, your medical practitioner will assess the movement of your neck, head and arms. You will be asked to perform simple tasks to help determine the range of motion of your neck and shoulders, degree of movement that causes or increases pain, and tenderness in the neck, shoulders or back.
