💡 What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a soft tissue injury of the neck caused by a sudden jerking motion, typically from a car crash or sports impact. This rapid movement strains the muscles, ligaments, and spinal joints in your neck and upper back.
🚨 Common Whiplash Symptoms
- Neck pain or stiffness
- Headaches (often starting at the base of the skull)
- Shoulder, upper back, or arm pain
- Tingling or numbness in the arms
- Dizziness, fatigue, or difficulty concentrating
- Pain that worsens with movement
Symptoms may appear hours or days after the injury — making early diagnosis critical.
🩺 How We Diagnose Whiplash
At Healthy Habits, we take a thorough and trauma-informed approach:
- Cervical spine and posture assessment
- Range of motion and neurological testing
- Functional movement evaluation
- Imaging referrals (X-rays, MRI, if necessary)

Whiplash
According to the American Chiropractic Association, one of the most common causes of neck pain is whiplash resulting from a car accident. A sudden forced movement of the head or neck in any direction and the resulting “rebound” in the opposite direction is known as whiplash. The sudden “whipping” motion injures the surrounding and supporting tissues of the neck and head. Muscles react by tightening and contracting, creating muscle fatigue, which can result in pain and stiffness. Severe whiplash can also be associated with injury to the intervertebral joints, discs, ligaments, muscles, and nerve roots.
