Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some useful responses to common questions most patients request concerning whiplash and treatments.

Whiplash is an injury to the neck brought about by a back-and-forth movement of the neck and the head with force. This movement is similar to the cracking of a whip, so it is called like that.

The four phases consist of the first phase, which is the initial impact and tissue damage stage, the inflammation and pain progression stage, the repair and healing stage, and, lastly, remodelling, where the tissues gain strength and have a functional restoration.

Whiplash normally presents as pain and stiffness in your neck, as well as headaches that begin at the cranial base. You could also have shoulder pain, tingling in the arms or dizziness.

Whiplash can hurt the individual. However, some patients develop long-term complications in cases where they receive inadequate treatment.
