How Whiplash Happens

Whiplash occurs when muscles in your neck are strained because of rapid movement backward and then forward. The abrupt motion causes tendons and tissues in your neck to tear, often causing pain and swelling.

Car accidents (particularly rear-end collisions) are a leading cause of whiplash injuries, but there are other ways one might suffer whiplash. These include:

  • Physical abuse (being punched or shaken)
  • Contact sports
  • Horseback riding
  • Biking accidents
  • Hard falls or blows to the head
