Understanding Whiplash: The Causes and Symptoms
Whiplash is a common yet often underestimated injury resulting from auto accidents. It occurs when the head is abruptly jerked forward and backward, akin to the cracking of a whip, and is primarily caused by rear-end collisions.
This violent motion can cause the cervical spine to move beyond its normal range, leading to various symptoms. Initially, you might experience neck stiffness and pain, which can quickly escalate to more severe conditions like headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, and fatigue.
Some individuals also report difficulty concentrating, ringing in the ears, or even memory problems. Whiplash can also lead to longer-term issues like chronic neck pain, reduced range of motion, and even degenerative spinal disorders.
