About whiplash

Whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) occurs when the neck rapidly accelerates and decelerates, commonly in a rear-end collision. Early active rehab is the best evidence-based treatment.

Common causes

  • Motor vehicle collisions
  • Contact sports
  • Falls with neck impact

Symptoms we commonly see

  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Headaches
  • Shoulder and upper back pain
  • Dizziness
  • Concentration or memory issues
