What is a Whiplash?

0

The most common victim is a driver of a passenger in an auto collision. The jolt causes his/her head to pop back and forth in a whip-like motion. To better explain, you have seven vertebrae – seven small, movable bones stacked one atop the other – in your neck, supported solely by muscles and ligaments. They serve as a flexible pedestal for your head. Whiplash can cause those vertebrae to sort of pull apart or subluxate; the muscles and ligaments try to pull them back together, but not necessarily to their normal position.
