Frequently asked question

What is whiplash and what symptoms can occur after an accident?

Whiplash is a term for a neck injury that can happen when the head moves forcefully back and forward, most often in rear-end collisions. Common symptoms can include neck pain and stiffness, loss of range of motion in the neck, headaches, and tenderness in the shoulder, upper back, or arms. Symptoms may not appear right away and often develop within days of the injury. If you have severe or emergency symptoms, seek emergency medical attention.
