While many think of whiplash as a minor injury, in reality, it can cause significant pain and discomfort, and in severe cases, damage can be permanent.
Symptoms of whiplash include neck stiffness, difficulty moving the head, neck pain and headaches, as well as muscle spasms and pain in your arms and shoulders.
It can take several hours for symptoms to show, and in most cases, these symptoms will worsen over the next couple of days.
If you’ve had an accident recently, it’s important to seek medical advice as soon as possible.
