What is whiplash?
Whiplash is a neck injury due to forceful, rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck. Whiplash most often occurs during a rear-end auto accident, but the injury can also result from a sports accident, physical abuse, or other trauma. Common signs and symptoms of whiplash include neck pain, arm pain, stiffness, and headaches.
