The symptoms of whiplash injury
Whiplash injury, while very rarely serious, can often be debilitating. Headaches and nausea are not uncommon symptoms and extreme tiredness can set in as the body begins the healing process. Therefore many people who have sustained a whiplash injury find that it’s necessary to take at least some time off work to recover.
What causes whiplash injury?
By far and away the most commonly seen consequence of a car accident, is a whiplash injury which is caused by a sudden forward jolt of the head and neck, usually from a rear impact shunt. As painful as it undoubtedly is, whiplash is in fact a sign that the body has protected itself well from further damage. By causing the neck muscles to seize up at the moment of impact more serious injuries are avoided.
