Whiplash (hyper flexion/hyperextension) is an injury to the neck that is the result of excessive force combined with excessive range of motion which leads to damage to the soft tissue. Auto accidents resulting in whiplash may be rear-end impact, side impact, or frontal impact accidents. These types of auto accidents maybe as slow as 5mph and still result in injuries like whiplash. Symptoms may vary from mild stiffness, to pain, restricted range of motion and headaches.

The best treatment for auto accident injuries such as whiplash is chiropractic treatment, physiotherapy modalities, and home stretching and strengthening.
