Whiplash Injuries
Car Accidents & Neck Injuries
Have you sustained whiplash injuries after being involved in a
car accident? Whiplash refers to a common neck injury that can occur from a rear-end
automobile collision when the victim's head suddenly moves backward
and then forward in a motion that is similar to cracking a whip. The extreme
"whiplash" motion pushes the neck muscles and ligaments beyond
their normal range of motion, leading to pain and discomfort which can
be debilitating.
Whiplash injuries can range from mild to severe, while some people can
recover from whiplash after a few weeks, others will develop chronic pain
after the whiplash injury. The signs and symptoms of a whiplash injury
may be experienced immediately following the accident, but it can take
up to 24 hours after the accident for whiplash symptoms to develop. The
symptoms of a whiplash injury may include:
- Neck pain
- Stiffness in the neck
- Headaches, which are commonly located at the base of the skull
- Blurred vision
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Concentration problems
- Memory problems
- Ringing in the ears
- Sleep disturbances
- Irritability
If you were involved in a car accident and have experienced pain that spreads
to your shoulders or arms, or if it becomes painful to move your head,
or if you experience numbness, tingling or weakness in your arms, you
are urged to seek medical attention right away as any of these may be
a sign of a more serious medical problem.
