Have you been in a car accident?
Whiplash refers to a neck injury that occurs after a motor vehicle or car accident. The most common type of car accident is a rear-end collision, and the occupant in the vehicle that gets ‘rear-ended’ is at the highest risk of injury, including whiplash.
Until recently, the cause of pain resulting from a whiplash injury was not well understood. Additionally, due to legal and insurance concerns, individuals who reported neck pain and symptoms following an accident were often regarded with suspicion. Recent research has clarified why people involved in rear-end collisions experience a higher incidence of injury compared to those in other types of accidents. This new information is crucial for doctors treating whiplash pain, as it influences how best to care for those suffering from these injuries.
