One of the most common injuries from a car accident is the damaging effect of whiplash. Whiplash occurs when a sudden, jarring movement of the head is sustained backward, forward or even side to side. Whiplash destabilizes the spine and causes severe pain as well as these other indicators:
- Low back pain
- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Shoulder pain
- Reduced range of motion in the neck
- Arm pain
- Neck stiffness
