Auto Injury Recovery with Whiplash and Headaches

 

It's all too easy to suddenly be in a car crash whether a mild rear ender or a traffic stopping accident. You may feel lucky you survived without any direct trauma but the strain on neck muscles and soft tissue will show up as pain the next day.

A whiplash injury occurs when the neck is thrown forward and back in a sudden stop. The symptoms of a whiplash are: neck pain, stiffness, headaches,  jaw pain, dizziness, ringing in the ears, pain in the shoulders or between the shoulder blades, pain or numbness down the arm, blurred vision, difficulty concentrating,  sleep disturbances and fatigue. A long list that not everyone experiences but each of these symptoms can arise from the car accident a day or two later or even a week later.
