It’s an all too common occurrence—one way or another, we find ourselves in an accidental situation where our neck snaps too far in one direction, be it a result of a car crash, sports injury or even toddlers playing an innocent game.
Whiplash causes an instability in the neck and spine, which can often result in headaches, dizziness, reduced flexibility and back problems to name a few.
The scary part? You might not realize something is wrong until long after you’ve sustained your injury. The symptoms of whiplash don’t always show up immediately—instead, your body overcompensates for the problems caused. Over time, your body will begin to breakdown, unable to keep up with the disturbances caused by the whiplash.
So, what can you do if you find yourself a victim of a neck injury, no matter how big or small?
