Whiplash is a common result of motor vehicle accidents and can cause symptoms of neck pain, headaches, tempomandibular dysfunction, dizziness, aching in the arms and light-headedness. These symptoms can be debilitating in your daily life. Symptoms may appear immediately after the accident or have a delayed onset of hours or days. The nature of the injury and the severity of symptoms vary between people. Following injury, it is important to get an assessment as soon as possible for treatment advice, as rehabilitation, education and reassurance are vital to recovery.
