What is whiplash?
user
It's a very common injury which occurs when a person is in an automobile collision and the head is abruptly and forcibly thrown backward or forward.

It sounds very painful.

It can be, and also very scary!

Does it last for a long time?
user
With proper treatment, the pain generally gets better within a couple weeks. If your head was thrown forward, you may have a sore neck and headache for a couple of weeks after the crash. If your head was thrown backwards, you may have a sore back, neck and shoulder for a week or two.
assistant
I never heard of different symptoms if it was thrown forward or back?
