What is Whiplash and How Do I Know If I Have It?

Physically, the human brain is protected by bone, but there is some movement within the skull. In an accident, the biker’s head jolts back and forth inside the helmet. If they are lucky, the helmet provides protection, but the neck vertebrae are fiercely whipped back and forth as well, usually causing significant injury to the muscles, tendons and ligaments in the neck. This is whiplash. ‘

• If the motorcycle is hit from the rear or at a low speed, whiplash is common. Concussion, injury to the brain itself, is also likely.
• If the impact is harder, the rider is often thrown from the bike, resulting in more significant neck and spinal trauma.

The symptoms of whiplash include severe neck pain, stiffness and you may even feel pain radiating down your shoulders into your arms and lower back. Severe whiplash also results in persistent headaches, vision and hearing problems and also emotional issues such as depression and anxiety. Chronic, life-long pain, often diagnosed as fibromyalgia, is common following serious motorcycle accidents in Essex, Hudson, Union or Middlesex counties.

Don’t be a doctor. You will find out you have whiplash when a trained physician diagnoses it. Get examined as soon as possible after any type of accident. First off, you will get the care and treatment you need in a timely manner.
