What are the symptoms of whiplash?

Whiplash is a neck injury that often happens after your head moves forward and back suddenly, like in a car accident. It’s important to remember that everyone experiences whiplash differently, and some people might not have symptoms right away. Here are some common signs of whiplash:

Neck pain and stiffness: This is often the most noticeable symptom, and it can range from mild to severe. You might find it hard to move your neck.
Headaches: These often start at the base of the skull and can radiate towards the forehead.
Dizziness and fatigue: You might feel lightheaded, off-balance, or more tired than usual.
Pain or numbness in your arms or shoulders: Whiplash can also affect the nerves in your neck, causing these symptoms.
* Blurred vision or ringing in the ears: These symptoms are less common but can occur.

If you think you might have whiplash, it’s important to see a doctor or other healthcare professional. They can determine the best course of treatment for you.
