Whiplash

What is Whiplash?

Whiplash injuries can be severe or mild. It is a relatively common injury resulting from unrestrained sudden impact, when the head is thrown forwards, backwards or side to side. It is also the reason why many of those involved in motor vehicle accidents experience this type of injury.

A whiplash injury is an injury to the soft tissue in the neck. Given the necks flexibility, it is common for this type of sprain to occur from collisions in cars. Whiplash does not discriminate and can occur from collisions at different speeds.

How long does Whiplash last For?

There is no one size fits all when it comes to whiplash injuries. As they vary in severity, so too does the recovery time. Some whiplash injuries can heal in a matter of days and others can take several weeks. On average, it can take 32 days to fully recover from a whiplash injury. For a small percentage of people, whiplash can last longer.
