This condition is more accurately referred to by its medical name of acceleration deceleration syndrome and is a collection of symptoms that occur following damage to the neck. Physical damage occurs when the head is thrown back, forwards or sideways followed by reflex contraction in the opposite direction and this usually occurs in a car accident although there are a number of other possibilities. The violent motion causes a sudden strain which affects the discs, muscles, nerves, or tendons of the neck and resultant swelling leads to pressure being placed on the nerves leading to the classical symptoms which may be delayed in their onset especially if the person who suffered from the effects of the whiplash was unaware of any symptoms at the time of the accident.

Symptoms following an accident may be present directly or may develop gradually over hours, days, or weeks after the injury and may include:

• headache
• neck pain or stiffness
• blurred vision
• difficulty swallowing
• irritability
• pain caused by muscle tears
• sharp neck pain
• fatigue
• dizziness
• pain between the shoulder blades
• shoulder pain
• nausea
• numbness and tingling
• pain in the jaw or face
• ringing in the ears
• vertigo
• low back pain
• shoulder pain
• pain in the arms or legs
• headache

Diagnosis is usually based on observation of symptoms, medical history, and a physical and neurological examination. Treatment is by way of pain medication, anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants and physical therapy. Severe problems may be treated with a surgical collar, cervical traction and heat therapy. Surgery is very rarely required to treat this problem.
