Types of Whiplash Injuries
Whiplash injuries can vary in severity, ranging from mild to severe.
This is the mildest form of whiplash, where the muscles and ligaments are slightly strained, causing pain but no loss of motion.
Moderate injuries result in pain and stiffness with limited range of motion, typically requiring physiotherapy for recovery.
Involves more serious damage to the soft tissues, ligaments, and muscles.
The most severe form involves damage to the cervical spine, potentially requiring long-term therapy and even surgery in rare cases.
Identifying the grade of injury is crucial for developing an appropriate treatment plan.
