Whiplash is a common injury the normally occurs from a rear impact while a person in a stationary position. Many times that slight pain in your neck will be something you might want to ignore and can even be misdiagnosed. While whiplash isn’t a life threating injury it can be debilitating and lead to a long period of recovery and disability.
