to WhiplashUnderstanding
WhiplashNo one asks for a whiplash injury--they are nearly always a surprise and rarely the fault of the victim.
But they are very common. In fact, over 1 million rear-end collisions occur every year in the U.S.
Most cases of whiplash are minor and heal within a few weeks with the proper care. Unfortunately, a small number of patients--about 20 to 30% of whiplash cases--become chronic and lead to long-term discomfort.
Whiplash consists of some classic symptoms. Sometimes these symptoms occur immediately after the crash and other times they may take weeks or even months to appear.
Here's a list of the most common symptoms:
- Headache
- Neck pain
- Dizziness
- Shoulder Pain
- Jaw pain
- Arm Pain
Are these symptoms familiar?
