The symptom is a starting point.
Whiplash is a common auto-collision concern. Symptoms can be immediate or become more noticeable later, so the examination considers the impact, symptom timeline, and neck or upper-back movement.
Concerns worth mentioning at the exam:
- Neck pain or stiffness
- Headaches
- Muscle spasm
- Tingling or weakness
- Reduced ability to turn the head
