Whiplash Injuries
The term "whiplash" is used to describe a range of neck injuries -- particularly soft tissue damage to the neck -- common in many rear-end car accidents.
When a car is rear-ended, the impact propels the driver's and passengers' bodies forward while their heads stay in place, exposing the neck to sudden, extreme extension and flexion that follows a whip-like motion. So injuries to the neck that result from this extreme snapping or jerking are commonly called whiplash.
Whiplash symptoms may include: Neck pain and stiffness Headaches, most commonly at the base of the skull Dizziness Blurred vision Fatigue Difficulty concentrating Memory problems Ringing in the ears Sleep disturbances Irritability.
It is recommended immediate medical attention for whiplash victims if: Pain spreads to their shoulders or arms It becomes painful to move their head Numbness, tingling or weakness arises in their arms.
