Whiplash: Understanding the Root Cause
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by the rapid back-and-forth movement of the head — most commonly from rear-end auto collisions. The sudden force stretches and tears muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the cervical spine. Without proper treatment, whiplash progresses from acute pain to chronic disability.
Common Causes
- •Rear-end auto accidents (most common)
- •Sports collisions — football, hockey, rugby
- •Physical assault or abuse
- •Amusement park ride injuries
- •Falls and sudden impacts
- •Slip and fall accidents
