Many victims of car and road traffic accidents develop a whiplash injury after the incident. Do you think you might be suffering from whiplash? Find out more below.
Neck pain after a car accident is a clear sign of whiplash injury. The jolting movement of these kind of impacts causes damage to the muscles and tendons in the neck. If your neck is sore or stiff, and you are suffering from any other symptoms such as headaches, back/shoulder pain and fatigue, then it is highly likely you are suffering from whiplash.
Get a medical opinion
Getting the opinion of a trained medical practitioner is vital if you think you are suffering from whiplash. They will help your recovery by diagnosing and advising how to treat any injury you have suffered.
Can my neck pain be whiplash if it didn't start immediately after the accident?
The pain felt by a whiplash sufferer is caused by soft tissue and muscle damage in the neck. Overstretched muscles and tissue can take a couple of days for the pain to really develop. This is why some people can feel fine after an accident but suffer serious whiplash pain some two days after the crash.
