Whiplash, or cervical acceleration-deceleration (CAD) syndrome, is an injury to the neck that usually develops after a car accident, traumatic fall, or collision while playing a contact sport.
When the neck is lurched back and forth suddenly or moves beyond its normal range of motion, individuals tend to experience intense pain, stiffness and headaches (whiplash).
The pain management specialists at Tulsa Pain discuss treatment options for those affected by whiplash.
