Whiplash Definition
Whiplash is a non-medical term describing a range of injuries to the neck caused by or related to a sudden distortion of the neck associated with extension.
Whiplash is commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents, usually when the vehicle has been hit in the rear; however, the injury can be sustained in many other ways, including falls from stools, bicycles[citation needed] or horses.[citation needed] It stands out as one of the main injuries covered by the car insurers.[citation needed] In the United Kingdom, 430,000 people made a claim for whiplash in 2007 (75% of the UK’s motor insurance claims), accounting for 14% of every driver’s premium.

Whiplash Symptoms
Symptoms reported by sufferers include: pain and aching to the neck and back, referred pain to the shoulders, sensory disturbance (such as pins and needles) to the arms & legs and headaches. Symptoms can appear directly after the injury, but often are not felt until days afterwards. Whiplash is usually confined to the spinal cord, and the most common areas of the spinal cord affected by whiplash are the neck, and the mid-back (middle of the spine).
