The symptoms of a whiplash injury can often be felt following a car accident, sport accident or a slip/trip and can be extremely painful.

The most common symptoms of whiplash injuries are:

• Aching and stiffness around the neck and shoulders
• Headaches
• Tenderness around the neck and shoulders
• A reduction in movement on one side or both sides of the neck
• Swelling around the neck

Other associated symptoms of a whiplash injury include:

• Blurred vision
• Dizziness
• Tiredness
• Spasms to the neck
• Tinnitus, which is ringing in the ears
• Pins and needles
• Back pain

If having been in an accident and you feel these symptoms, and they do not clear up quickly, you should visit your doctor or hospital. They are likely to diagnose a whiplash injury, and prescribe painkillers. They can check the whipash injury has not caused other medical conditions. If the whiplash injury is severe, they may organise physiotherapy to speed up the healing process.

A whiplash injury can take a number of hours or days to come out. It is an injury which can have a dramatic effect on daily life as it can make the most simple of tasks very difficult through lack of movement.
