Whiplash has a way of looking minor from the outside while feeling anything but minor in the body. Many people walk away from a car accident, a sports collision, or a sudden fall thinking they were lucky, only to wake up the next day with a neck that feels locked, shoulders that burn, and a headache that seems to rise from the base of the skull. That delay is common. Soft tissue injuries do not always declare themselves in the first hour. What makes whiplash fr

That approach feels intuitive. If movement hurts, rest must help. Yet whiplash often behaves differently from what common sense suggests.

Then the neck tightens later that day, sleep becomes difficult, turning the head feels restricted, and a dull headache settles in at the base of the skull. That pattern is common with whiplash, and it is one reason these injuries are so often underestimated. Whiplash is not simply a sore neck
