Motor Vehicle Accidents
Every year there are millions of motor vehicle accidents in the United States, many cause injuries. Cervical Strain/Sprain, commonly called “whiplash” often results from a crash. While your torso may be secured to the seat by a lap and shoulder belt, your neck is free to be thrown forward and backward by the force of impact – hence the “whiplash” injury.
Basic facts about cervical sprain/strain (whiplash) include:
- Although it takes only seconds to occur this injury can take three months or longer to heal.
- As muscles, tendons and ligaments are overextended, soft tissue, spinal nerves and discs may be injured.
- Symptoms may include: head, neck, face, shoulder, arm or hand pain, dizziness, jaw pain and ringing in the ears. Nerve damage causes numbness or tingling.
