Whiplash is one of those injuries that can sneak up on you.
It doesn’t take a major car crash or a dramatic fall — sometimes all it takes is a quick jolt at 8–12 km/h for the neck to whip forward and back, overstretching the muscles, tendons, and joints that support it.
Many people don’t realise symptoms can appear hours or even days later.
Common signs include stiffness, reduced neck movement, headaches, and tension across the shoulders or upper back. These symptoms are your body’s way of saying something isn’t right.
The important thing?
Don’t wait it out.
Early assessment by a chiropractor or physiotherapist can help reduce pain, restore mobility, and stop your body from creating compensation patterns that often lead to a “domino effect” of discomfort elsewhere.
