• What is Whiplash and the Risk Factors?
• Whiplash is probably the most common and
  well-known cause of injury during an auto
  accident with more than 3 million new cases
  annually. Whiplash occurs when the force of the
  accident whips the head. The neck rocks back
  and forth vigorously when the accident causes
  your body to thrust forward during the collision.
  This can cause the neck muscles to extend, become
  extremely sore and may lead to a limited range of
  motion.

• Common Symptoms and Injuries from Whiplash
• Whiplash symptoms may take hours, days or weeks
  to appear. If you notice any of these symptoms
  after an auto accident, seek treatment.
• Soreness or stiffness of the neck
• Headaches
• Pain, numbness or tingling in the back, arms,
  shoulders and hands
• Reduced range of motion in the neck or ability to
  move the head
• Ringing in the ears, dizziness, hearing loss or
  blurred vision

• The most common injuries from whiplash
• Sprained or torn ligaments of the spine

  cervical spine

• The Impact of Whiplash on Your Body and Health
• Whiplash often causes major injuries and can
  occur with speeds as low at 2.5 mph. Even if
  damage to the car is minimal, there can be
  permanent spinal damage. Whiplash injuries
  dismissed as minor initially, often end up
  causing lifelong health problems.
• Trauma to the spine, no matter how small, can
  disturb the natural position of vertebrae,
  affecting surrounding muscles, ligaments and
  discs. The vertebrae protect the spinal cord and
  exiting nerves, so even a small disturbance can
  have a significant adverse effect on the nerve
  tissue and the nervous systems ability to
  function.
• Many patients leave the emergency room with a
  diagnosed or an undiagnosed whiplash injury and
  never receive treatment for the condition. Not
  treating a whiplash injury can lead to a
  degenerative chain reaction resulting in many
  underlying health problems. (i.e. WAD Whiplash
  Associated Disorder) This can slowly grow worse
  with time and even destroy good health.
