Common Whiplash-Causing Accidents
There are several ways that you can end up with a whiplash injury, but no matter the cause, you can likely benefit from treatment that will assist your body and neck with its recovery, including pain reduction and improved mobility. Below is not an exhaustive list but will give you an idea of some of the types of accidents that can lead to a whiplash injury.
- Car Accident
One of the most common car accident minor injuries is whiplash. Because of the nature of car accidents almost always involving a sudden stop, even low-speed accidents, they tend to jerk the bodies of the passengers which can have a particularly painful and lasting effect on the neck when your head jerks violently. Whiplash symptoms can be delayed for even days following the accident, so it is recommended to keep an eye out for signs of a whiplash injury if you’ve been in a car accident, including minor fender-bender accidents. - Contact Sports Accidents
By nature, contact sports are somewhat hard on the body and can cause harsh movements that cause lasting injury, such as whiplash. During contact sports it is not uncommon for a player to be hit suddenly and cause their head to jerk violently. When this happens, it is very likely that a whiplash injury will be suffered, and the player may need to seek treatment to assist with their recovery. It is not wise to continue to play a contact sport while injured, so getting the treatment needed as soon as possible is recommended! - Physical Abuse
During an assault or physical abuse, whiplash can be caused if the victim is shaken violently back and forth (forward and back). After such abuse, it is recommended to seek treatment for your whiplash and to report the abuse or assault to the authorities. Catonsville whiplash treatment can help your recovery and, if needed, provide you with documentation or your injuries.
