Whiplash occurs when your head snaps forward and backward from the impact of a car accident. These types of injuries are mostly associated with a rear end collision, though any type of force would be enough to result in this injury.
The most common symptoms include:
- Neck pain
- Headache
- Stiffness in the neck and shoulders
- Arm pain or weakness
- Pinched nerve in your neck
- Jaw stiffness
- Lower facial soreness
- Dizziness, nausea or vomiting
