Neck Pain & Whiplash

Neck pain and whiplash injuries often occur when a vehicle is struck from behind, causing the occupant’s head to jerk back and forth beyond its normal range. Other types of collisions and sports injuries can also result in whiplash. Many people don’t realise that the issues they’ve been experiencing for months or even years may be linked to an earlier injury.

Relief Is Closer Than It Seems

In addition to neck pain, whiplash can cause headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, and pain in the shoulders, arms, and hands. Do you find it difficult to look over your shoulder? Do you experience tension and pain in your neck at various times of the day?

It’s important to remember that your neck supports your head, which is quite heavy. You don’t need to have suffered a whiplash injury to experience neck pain. Regardless of the cause, it needs to be identified and addressed.
