Whiplash Injury

Whiplash happens when the neck is suddenly jerked back and forth, often during a vehicle collision, straining muscles and ligaments. Physiotherapy helps reduce neck stiffness and pain while restoring normal movement.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Keep the neck gently moving within comfort
  • Apply ice in the first two days and heat afterward
  • Practice prescribed neck stretches daily
  • Maintain good posture while sitting or driving

Don'ts

  • Don't wear a neck collar for long periods unless advised
  • Don't stay completely still for extended periods
  • Don't ignore worsening headaches or dizziness
  • Don't resume driving until neck movement is comfortable

When to see a physiotherapist: Seek medical care if you have severe neck pain, arm weakness, or dizziness after an injury, and consult a physiotherapist to guide safe movement recovery.
