Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs due to a sudden and forceful back-and-forth movement of the neck, often caused by a car accident or sports injury. Symptoms of whiplash can include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and difficulty moving the neck. Treatment for whiplash typically involves pain management, rest, ice or heat therapy, and exercises to improve neck strength and range of motion. In severe cases, additional interventions such as physical therapy, medications, or injections may be necessary. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for a full recovery from whiplash.
