Understanding Whiplash and The Benefits of Massage Whiplash is an injury sustained when the neck itself has mad a whip-like motion bending first towards and then away from the point of impact. As the head moves rapidly in one direction, the muscles in the neck contract. This movement can cause strain or sprain to the muscles and ligaments in the neck which doctors more often describe as cervical sprain, cervical strain, or hyperextension injury. The symptoms of whiplash include neck pain and stiffness, headaches, pain in the shoulder or between the shoulder blades, low back pain, and pain or numbness in the arms or extremities. |
