Nashville Chiropractic on Whiplash Were you recently involved in a vehicular accident? Have you fallen from riding a horse, a bike or even your bed? If so, give yourself a body check and ask yourself the following questions: • Am I experiencing tenderness in the back of my neck? • Is my neck swelling and thus painful? • Is it difficult to move my neck? • Am I having a headache? If you say yes to all of the above questions then you are suffering from Whiplash, a non-medical term for neck strain or what is medically known as Cervical Hyperflexion-Hyperextension injury and/or cervical acceleration/deceleration trauma. This is the pain in the neck commonly associated with vehicular accidents especially to those victims that were thrown off a vehicle when hit in the rear end at high speed.
