What is whiplash and how can Physiotherapy help?
Whiplash is a soft tissue injury commonly associated with the neck. However, soft tissue damage may also occur in other areas of the spine and lower back. The injury is caused by a sudden neck or spinal movement moving rapidly forwards and backwards. This double movement damages the soft tissue within these areas. A whiplash injury can result in experiencing neck pain and stiffness, headaches, shoulder or middle back pain, low back pain, pins and needles, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and many other symptoms. After firstly seeking advice from you doctor, a course of symptom and pain relieving Physiotherapy will help to alleviate the symptoms.
