Many of us are confident that we are sure of the effects of whiplash on the injury victim. However, often there are more diverse and complex symptoms than we are aware of. All symptoms are not immediately noticeable after an accident either. Many take as long as seventy two hours to begin to show.
More about whiplash effects
The effects of whiplash that are well-known to us all are pain and tightness in the neck and neck muscles. This often makes it difficult for the victim to move their neck much, as it becomes stiff. Sometimes there is also visible swelling and bruising, although not in all cases.
Frequent whiplash effects:
- Pain and soreness in the neck
- Stiffness in the neck
- Swelling to the neck
- Tenderness to the touch
The effects of whiplash that are less frequent are shown below.
- Back pain
- Headaches
- Tiredness
- Blurred vision
- Tinnitus
- Dizziness
The treatment and advice of your GP or other medical practitioner should always be sought if you believe you are suffering from whiplash. Some of the less frequent symptoms are also symptoms of other conditions and so the diagnosis of a medical professional is essential.
