Injury

Whiplash personal injury affects the neck and back and results in pain and stiffness. It occurs when the head is rapidly jolted in a particular direction and a reflex reaction then pulls it in the opposite direction. The framework of the spine and the vertebra are pushed beyond their natural limits, causing sprains and strains to the muscles, ligaments, tendons and cartilage and in very severe cases can cause bone damage to the vertebrae.

Whiplash personal injury is most common as a consequence of road accidents and even a gentle crash can cause serious injury. You need to be aware of this fact even when you think your car accident was mild. Indeed, the force to the neck caused by the reflex action can be several times greater than that caused by the original collision. Although seatbelts can prevent other very serious injuries, they pin the body back and can contribute to the whipping action of the neck. It’s important after any neck sprain to seek medical attention quickly. See your GP or get to your local hospital for an examination, where an X-ray is likely to be taken. If no fracture is observed, you’re likely to be given anti-inflammation medicine or pain-killers, while physiotherapy may also help sufferers of whiplash. If your practitioner believes the problem may be more serious, you may undergo an MRI or CAT scan.
