If you have been involved in a car accident, whiplash
injuries need to be taken very seriously. Because
symptoms of a whiplash injury can take weeks or months
to manifest, it is easy to be fooled into thinking that
you are not as injured as you really are.
Too often people don't seek treatment following a car
accident because they don't feel hurt. By far, the most
common injury to the neck is a whiplash injury.Whiplash
is caused by a sudden movement of the head, either
backward, forward, or sideways, that results in the
damage to the supporting muscles, ligaments and other
connective tissues in the neck and upper back.
Unfortunately, by the time more serious complications
develop, some of the damage from the injury may have
become permanent. Numerous studies have shown that years
after whiplash victims settle their insurance claims,
roughly half of them state that they still suffer with
symptoms from their injuries. If you have been in a
motor vehicle or any other kind of accident, don't
assume that you escaped injury if you are not currently
in pain.
