Whiplash is a form of neck injury caused by forceful, rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck. According to the Mayo Clinic<\/a>, whiplash most often occurs during a rear-end car accident and the signs and symptoms of whiplash may include:<\/p>\n

Dizziness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Some people also experience:<\/p>\n
\n
Blurred vision<\/li>\n
Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)<\/li>\n
Sleep disturbances<\/li>\n
Irritability<\/li>\n
Difficulty concentrating<\/li>\n
Memory problems<\/li>\n
Depression<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Whiplash signs and symptoms usually develop within 24 hours of the injury.<\/p>\n
Always seek medical attention as soon as possible following a car accident to ensure you receive a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Most people recover from whiplash within a few months, while some people experience chronic neck pain and other ongoing complications.<\/p>\n
The course of treatment depends on the severity of your whiplash injury. For some people, over-the-counter drugs and at-home care may be sufficient. Other people may need prescription drugs, specialized pain treatment or physical therapy.<\/p>\n
