A whiplash injury, also called a cervical dystonia, is a type of neck injury that can happen when you're in an accident where the car you're in is stopped by another force. The sudden force of stopping can cause your neck to stretch or twist quickly back and forth, which can result in pain and soreness.
The most common symptoms are neck stiffness, headaches, tingling sensations in the arm or hand on one side of the body (as well as tingling sensations on the other side if there's damage to our spinal cord), shoulder pain or numbness with shoulder movement, dizziness.
