What Is a Whiplash Injury?
Whiplash is a type of neck injury that occurs when the head is suddenly and forcefully jerked forward or backward. The sudden movement can damage the bones, muscles, and other tissues in the neck. Whiplash is most often caused by car accidents, but it can also occur during contact sports or other activities that involve a sudden impact to the head or neck.
Most people who suffer from whiplash recover within a few weeks with rest and over-the-counter pain medication. However, some people experience ongoing pain, stiffness, and other symptoms for months or even years after the initial injury. If you are still experiencing symptoms after several weeks, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
How Long Does Whiplash Take To Heal?
Whiplash can occur in car accidents, sports injuries, and other types of trauma. Symptoms of whiplash include neck pain and stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Most people with whiplash recover within 3 months with conservative treatment such as ice, heat, physical therapy, and over-the-counter pain medication. In some cases, however, whiplash can lead to chronic pain and disability. If you have been diagnosed with whiplash, it is important to follow your doctor’s treatment plan and to be patient as you heal.
