Picture this: You are sitting in your car at a stop light, calmly waiting for it to turn green. Then suddenly, a car hits you from behind. The impact isn’t massive; there’s only a minor dent in the rear end of your vehicle, and you didn’t have any cuts or bruises. You feel relieved that you can walk away from the accident unharmed. But a few weeks later, you notice persistent pain and tenderness in your neck. You think it’s just a stiff neck, but when you go to the doctor, you find out it is more than that — you have a whiplash injury.
You might think whiplash injury is only caused by high-speed, rear-end collisions. But even collisions that occur at speeds as low as 5 mph may result in whiplash, and it can happen even if you are wearing a seat belt.
In our Orem office, we’ve seen many patients experience neck pain and stiffness after they were in an auto accident. Many of them didn’t realize they got a whiplash injury until weeks or months later, when their symptoms became persistent and even led to other serious health issues.
Whiplash injury can happen in two ways. The first is when the head and neck are suddenly thrown forward or backward because of the initial impact of the collision. The second is when your body overcompensates for the accelerated movement of your head by forcing it in the opposite direction. In both cases, the sudden motion of your head — or “whiplash” — can tear the ligaments in the neck and may shift the bones out of position, causing stiffness, pain and discomfort in the neck, shoulders and upper back.
But getting in a car collision isn’t the sole cause of a whiplash injury. It can also come from playing contact sports such as football, or from a head trauma. If you are in an incident, go to the hospital for a medical evaluation and then keep watch for specific symptoms.
Whiplash injuries can range from mild to severe, depending on the level of impact. They can also be more significant if your car seat’s headrest was positioned too low. So even if the impact of the collision seemed mild, be on the lookout for the following symptoms:
• Pain in the neck, shoulders or upper back
• Limited range of motion of the neck
• Persistent tenderness and stiffness in the neck
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Constant ringing in the ears
• Blurred vision
New patients get a consult, exam, X-rays, adjustment, report and massage for just $35. That’s 88% off a typical first visit.
Although initial symptoms of whiplash may go away on their own over time, some whiplash injuries may lead to years of nagging pain.
