Whiplash
Whiplash describes neck injuries that occur from sudden acceleration–deceleration incidents, such as a rear-end car crash. These forces cause the neck to hyperextend and flex rapidly. As a result, muscles and ligaments that stabilise the neck stretch beyond their normal range.
Common symptoms of whiplash include neck pain, headaches, muscle spasms, arm pain, and sensations like pins and needles or numbness.
Early treatment is essential to prevent long-term muscle dysfunction and chronic neck pain. A musculoskeletal or sports physiotherapist will assess your injury and guide your recovery with a complete rehabilitation program.
Treatment often includes soft tissue therapy, joint mobilisations, deep neck muscle strengthening, taping, and ergonomic advice.
