What symptoms are associated with neck injuries in accidents?
Whiplash neck sprain is a type of stretching of the neck muscles that is mostly caused by car accidents. After hitting the car from the back or front or both sides, the passenger's head moves violently. This strong and sudden movement can cause severe stretching in the muscles and ligaments of the neck, followed by neck pain.
The most important symptoms of a whiplash injury are:
- neck pain and dryness that usually starts a few hours after the accident. href="https://www.dretesami.com/%d8%a2%d9%86%d8%a7%d8%aa%d9%88%d9%85%db%8c-%d8%b3%d8%aa%d9%88%d9%86-%d9%81%d9%82%d8%b1%d8%a7%d8%aa/">Spine
- Headache and dizziness
- Feeling tired and irritable and unable to concentrate
In the first days when the pain is intense, the neck should be moved as little as possible. Using a medical collar can help. After a few days, you should gradually start moving the neck and move the neck slowly. The movement of the neck may be a little painful at first, but gradually the intensity of the pain decreases. In case of pain, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
