Whiplash is a neck injury due to forceful, rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, like the cracking of a whip. Whiplash occurs when a person’s head moves backward and then forward suddenly with great force. Treatment for your whiplash typically involves rest and chiropractic, along with anti-inflammatory medicines and alleviating pain and stiffness in the neck, as well as healing the damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
