One factor of whiplash injury that makes it different from types of back injury is the absence of any fractures or broken bones in the neck. As with any accident, a whiplash injury should be promptly and thoroughly evaluated by a qualified and experienced physician and/or other specialist. Ruling out bone fractures in the neck can help establish the patient's symptoms as the result of a whiplash injury.

Typical whiplash symptoms include:

  • Stiffness of the neck
  • Pain radiating up into the head or down the back
  • Pain or tingling sensation through the shoulders and into the arms
  • Sensations of dizziness and/or nausea
  • Inability to remain in certain positions for extended times (lying down, sitting, etc.) without experiencing significant pain at the site of injury

A whiplash injury is most often associated with a rear-end accident. The direct front-to-back force causes a specific distortion and extension of the neck and/or upper back. Rollover accidents in which force is exerted on the accident victim from multiple directions and through direct force on the body tend to result in a different type of injury.
