Whiplash - Neck Injury 3D animation

Подробнее о видео

Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden, forceful back-and-forth motion of the head, similar to the cracking of a whip—hence the name. It commonly occurs during rear-end car accidents, but can also result from sports, falls, or physical assault.

This rapid movement can overstretch or tear the cervical spine's soft tissues, including muscles, ligaments, and intervertebral discs. The injury often affects the C4 to C7 vertebrae, leading to symptoms like neck pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and even visual disturbances.

In more severe cases, nerve roots may become irritated or compressed, causing radiating pain into the shoulders and arms. While most people recover within a few weeks, chronic whiplash can lead to long-term discomfort and reduced neck mobility if not properly treated.
