Whiplash
Whiplash is an injury that occurs to the spine, especially the neck, with sudden rapid movement. This is usually after a car accident, but can occur with collisions in sport or with a blow to the head or body.
Often the pain does not start until a few hours after the incident. The pain often then continues to escalate over the next few days. Initially you may experience neck pain and stiffness. This extends to all the muscles around the neck, often going into the front of the neck and around the throat, as well as the back of the neck. A bad headache will often set in. Vision can be affected and people often feel a “bit out if it”. You may experience pins and needles into the face or arms. The pain may often be accompanied by nausea. At all times the injury should be checked medically with your GP or at the hospital. A decision will then be made as to whether an x-ray or MRI is indicated. This will check there is no bone damage.
In the first few days good, strong medication will help control the pain and reduce the muscle spasm. A hot pack is usually best to use, keeping it on as much as you can, as this will help to relax the muscles further. Gentle pain-free movement will help to keep the joints from stiffening. Physiotherapy at this time releases tight muscles and mobilises joints to get them moving again.
