Whiplash- Wisconsin Accident Victims Know It’s No Laughing Matter

Whiplash.  When you think of this injury you may think of injury victims fabricating the injury, or claiming to have more pain than they do.  However, if you have been involved in an accident and suffered from the lasting effects of whiplash, you know it's not a joke. 

The pain from a whiplash injury may not surface for days after the initial accident.  Because of this, some people assume that the victim is making the injury up.  However, a delay in symptoms is very common as the muscles in the neck may appear undamaged until the body starts to recover from the shock of the injury.  As it begins to heal the muscles in and around the neck tighten, causing symptoms such as:

• Pain in the neck and back
• Aching in the neck and back
• Pain or stiffness in the shoulders
• Pins and needles feeling in the arms and legs
• Headaches

Though very often these symptoms can be managed with minimal medical care, they sometimes carry on for weeks and months after the accident.  The pain may be close to debilitating, and may require extensive physical therapy.
