Whiplash is an injury that occurs because of a rapid, forceful, back-and-forth movement of your neck. It is a common car-accident injury but may also happen because of sports accidents, falls, or physical trauma. If you struggle with whiplash pain and want relief, see the experts at Greenlight Chiropractic & Wellness Lab.
The symptoms you could experience because of whiplash include:
You may also have ringing in your ears, problems sleeping, blurred vision, memory problems, and difficulty concentrating after sustaining a whiplash injury.
The discomfort could go away on its own with rest or linger for several months or years when left untreated.
