Whiplash is a term used to describe a neck injury which is usually caused by an abrupt, forceful motion of the cervical spine, and the supporting muscles and soft tissues.⁣ ⁣ Motor vehicle accidents are the most common cause of whiplash injury. Hyperflexion and hyperextension of the cervical vertebrae causes the spine to cause an S-shaped curve.⁣ ⁣ Symptoms of whiplash include neck pain or stiffness, headache, back ache or pain, numbness, or tingling in the shoulders and arms.⁣ ⁣ #CompleteAnatom
