[ Ссылка ] Whiplash is an injury that occurs when your body is suddenly forced backwards and forwards moving your head and neck like a whip.
It's the most common injury that happens during a car accident, and it's one of the leading causes of chronic neck and back pain.
While a fender bender may not seem like a big deal, new research has shown that even small accidents can result in significant injuries.
Why it Matters: The violent forces that occur during a car accident can cause damage to your spinal discs, ligaments, tendons, and bones - even at "low" speeds. These forces have been shown to be up to 2000 times greater than in normal activities.
This rapid motion often results in torn ligaments and injured discs.
Symptoms such as
- neck pain
- shoulder pain
- back pain
- headaches
...even depression or confusion may indicate that you've suffered a whiplash injury.
You may not immediately notice any pain because of an adrenaline spike at the time of the accident. For many people, these symptoms develop over hours or even a few days and go unnoticed until the initial shock of the car accident has worn off.
It’s smart to get a complete evaluation after a car accident to minimise your risk of long-term pain. Getting the right care at the right time can make a big difference in your ability to heal quickly.
Remember, even small accidents can cause injuries, so if you’ve been involved in a car accident, be sure to contact our clinic as soon as possible so we can help you get on the road to relief!
