Whiplash is the term used to describe the
motion of the neck when an impact causes
the head to be “snapped” (moved quickly
in a direction opposite the direction of
impact). It is also know as CAD (cervical
acceleration/deceleration) trauma or syndrome.
The sudden sharp movement can cause damage
to the joints of the neck, as well as the
nerves, muscles, and discs. In extreme cases,
not only is the neck damaged, but the brain
is bruised. These injuries can include dizziness,
headache, pain in the body and arms, and,
in the case of brain injury, blurred vision,
tinnitus, nausea, vertigo, and numbness.
All of these injuries can lead to long-term
pain and disability.
