Whiplash Injury And Whiplash Symptoms
A whiplash injury is a soft tissue injury to your neck, usually caused when a vehicle collides with your vehicle from behind (often when you are stationary).
Common whiplash symptoms include:
- Neck pain
- Shoulder pain
- Headaches
- Numbness or tingling in your shoulders and arms
- Dizziness or giddiness
- Back ache
Treatment For Whiplash Symptoms
Owing to the fact that a whiplash injury is a soft tissue injury, you can treat it as you would other similar soft tissue injuries. You can apply ice to the area of pain as you would if you sprained an ankle. You should not apply ice directly to the skin but put it inside a tea towel or a plastic bag to prevent any suffering from ice burns. You can also take painkillers to ease the pain or anti-inflammatories. It is not usually necessary to wear a neck brace.
