Whiplash is a collective name for injuries caused by a sudden, forceful movement of the head, often forward, backward or sideways. This can result in damage to muscles, ligaments, nerves, and joints in the neck. Symptoms can range from mild stiffness to severe pain, dizziness, headache, difficulty concentrating and tiredness.
Whiplash is often classified into grades depending on the severity:
The approach to whiplash varies by phase.
In the first days, it is important to rest and relieve pain symptoms:
Limit strenuous exercise, but keep moving carefully.
Use cold compresses to reduce swelling and inflammation.
Consult a doctor to rule out serious damage.
In this phase, the focus is on restoring mobility and strength:
Chronic complaints involve long-term recovery and improving quality of life:
Scientific studies emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to whiplash. Active rehabilitation, such as exercise and chiropractic, is often more effective than prolonged rest. Treatments that focus on improving mobility, reducing muscle tension and restoring balance in the spine are considered to be very helpful.
