Whiplash injuries usually happen because of the sudden back-and-forth motion of the head, arising due to car accidents, high-impact incidents or sports collisions. The unexpected impact results in a violent forward and backward head motion that strains the neck’s muscles, ligaments and tendons. Suffering a whiplash injury can be both painful and overwhelming.
