Am I Experiencing Whiplash Pain?

When a moving car is suddenly brought to a stop, the bodies inside of that vehicle continue to propel forward at the rate at which the car was travelling. While seatbelts and air bags are designed to keep drivers and passengers from serious injury, there is still a considerable amount of stress and strain put on the head, neck, and back. This strain can cause immediate and/or delayed muscle and ligament pain in these areas.

Mild to moderate. 80-85% of whiplash victims recover within weeks or months with the help of physical therapy, chiropractic care, or medication.

Moderate to severe. 15-20% experience chronic pain that requires aggressive therapy, injections, and possibly even surgery.
