Whiplash Symptoms

A genuine whiplash injury is amongst the most painful, intrusive and debilitating soft tissue injury that you can sustain. They are often regarded as simple injuries but nothing could be further from the truth.

Whiplash symptoms explained:

A Whiplash injury can affect the entire spine but symptoms are mostly confined to the neck and mid back (cervical and thoracic spine). Car accidents are the primary cause of such symptoms but there are many sufferers worldwide who have jarred or pulled their neck in a variety of ways. Whiplash injuries are commonplace and require very careful management from the outset.

Whiplash symptoms can include:

Pain or stiffness of the neck, back, jaw, shoulders, or arms.

Headache and dizziness.

Psychological problems including memory loss, concentration difficulties, nervousness, irritability, sleep disturbances, fatigue and depression.

Loss of feeling, numbness and burning  in the arm, hand or leg

Nausea or vomiting

Blurred vision

balance problems

These symptoms may not be evident immediately after an accident. In some cases it can take days for the effects of whiplash symptoms to be fully realised.

It is highly recommended that you seek medical attention throughout your recovery period and if your symptoms persist - ask your doctor to consider physio or similar treatment to aid your recovery.
