Whiplash is caused by a sudden impact and can take years to recover from.

What is Whiplash Injury?

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke describes whiplash as “an injury to the soft tissues of the neck. It is also often referred to as a neck strain or sprain. This cervical trauma usually occurs when the neck is jolted or subjected to a sudden back-and-forth motion. A sudden whipping or jerking motion can damage the delicate ligaments, muscles, joints, and nerve roots in the neck.

Common Whiplash Injury Symptoms

Although the whiplash signs often appear immediately, they can also take days or weeks to manifest themselves. Some of the early whiplash symptoms are neck pain, neck stiffness, dizziness or headaches. However, shoulder and back pain and strange sensations such as burning or pins and needles are also common. In severe cases, victims may also experience memory loss, irritability, nervousness, fatigue, depression, and an inability to concentrate.

Los Angeles Whiplash Injury Statistics 

Every year, there are approximately 3 million cases of whiplash injuries nationwide. As mentioned above, approximately 50% of these sprains sustained in the U.S. will result in chronic symptoms. Statistics show that women are 5 times more likely than men to suffer a cervical injury sprain in an accident. Women also tend to experience more severe injuries in accidents than men because of their smaller neck size. Children are also at high risk for serious injury due to their smaller neck size.

Not surprisingly, many whiplash victims face a longer-than-expected recovery period. The average time away from work following whiplash treatment is approximately 8 weeks. Some people face the harsh reality of never returning to work. More than 60% of whiplash victims will require long-term medical care. In addition, nearly 50% will experience some form of neck pain for up to 20 years after the initial injury.

Leading Causes of Whiplash Injuries

One of the leading causes of whiplash is car accidents. Although many people assume whiplash only happens in high-speed accidents, many cases occur at speeds of 12MPH or less. Although any type of car accident can result in whiplash, several types of auto accidents are more likely to result in damage to the neck, including:

  • Rear-end crashes
  • Sideswipe accidents
  • Head-on crashes

Some of the other causes of whiplash include contact sports or physical abuse. In addition, it can also happen from pedestrian accidents, bicycle or motorcycle collisions, boating incidents, and slips and falls.
