Guide To Whiplash Warning Signs

Stiffness And Pain In The Neck

The most common warning signs of whiplash are likely those of stiffness and pain in the neck. Because of the high amount of force placed on the tendons and muscles in the neck, these areas will likely be sore and stiff for at least a couple of weeks after the accident that brought about the injury. These warning signs can range in severity from mild to intense, which is why it's important for patients to monitor their condition if they begin to experience stiffness and pain in the neck. If the first symptoms are severe and start almost immediately after the accident, it's possible the patient's neck pain and stiffness will become chronic and even more difficult to handle. If the pain and stiffness are chronic, these warning signs will be accompanied by headaches and pain within the arms.
