What is Whiplash?
Whiplash can occur when the head suddenly jerks backward or forward, usually due to an accident. It can also be precipitated by another type of blow such as that received when engaging in football or other impact sports. The neck muscles and tendons get stretched and torn, and then the neck becomes sore. When a patient comes to our Orlando Pain Clinic with symptoms of neck pain, we often find signs of whiplash associated with the injury.
Symptoms & Signs of Whiplash
There are several uncomfortable signs of whiplash, and they all include pain. At Innovative Pain Solutions, we address these issues quickly so that the client can be free of the pain of whiplash. The following symptoms may indicate the presence of a whiplash, particularly if you’ve recently experienced head trauma.
- Headaches that originate at the top of the neck and radiate to the forehead
- Knotted muscles, neck pain, stiff neck, decreased range of motion in the neck
- Inability to look over your shoulder without pain
- Pain when moving your head back and forth, or from side to side
If you’ve been involved in an accident, you may have experienced whiplash. If you’re close to our Orlando pain clinic (Innovative Pain Solutions) we can help you overcome these issues and resume your normal routine.
Your degree of whiplash can vary depending on the severity of the accident, and side impact collisions are some of the worst. Even a low-impact collision can cause severe damage that results in significant pain to the individual. Don’t ignore the signs of whiplash because you think you were only involved in a minor collision.
If you experience dizziness, weakness, confusion, or lose consciousness, you should immediately consult with your medical professional since these may indicate the presence of other issues.
