  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK541016/

  The term „whiplash” injury was first coined by Harold Crowe in 1928 to define acceleration-deceleration injuries occurring to the cervical spine or neck region. […] Later modified to an all-encompassing term known as whiplash-associated disorders (WAD), these clinical entities have been refined to describe any collection of neck-related symptoms following a motor vehicle accident (MVA). […] The elusive difficulty that remains in describing these injuries is secondary to the fact that there is, by definition, no structural pathology identified following a comprehensive diagnostic workup. Therefore, WADs remain a diagnosis of exclusion. […] Whiplash-associated disorders describe a constellation of neck-related clinical symptoms manifesting after an MVA or car crash-related mechanism. The pathophysiologic cascade remains poorly understood and ultimately elusive. Previous speculated underlying mechanisms had attributed multifactorial elements including vertebral distraction to the facet joint capsule region of the cervical spine causing pain. Other plausible explanations can include any combination of minor (i.e., clinically irrelevant) injuries to either the facet joint(s), spinal ligaments, dorsal root ganglia/nerve roots, intervertebral discs, cartilage, and paraspinal muscle spasms or contusions of the intraarticular meniscus hemarthrosis may cause symptoms consistent with WADs or „whiplash” injuries.

• #4 Whiplash Symptoms & Treatments for Soft Tissue Damage in the Neck

  https://www.emedicinehealth.com/whiplash/article_em.htm

  Whiplash is a nonmedical term used to describe neck pain following an injury to the soft tissues of the neck (specifically ligaments, tendons, and muscles). It is caused by an abnormal motion or force applied to the neck that causes movement beyond the neck’s normal range of motion. It is usually caused by a flexion-extension motion of the neck that pulls and strains the neck muscles and ligaments. […] The most frequent cause of whiplash is a car accident. The speed of the cars involved in the accident or the amount of physical damage to the car may not relate to the intensity of neck injury; speeds as low as 15 miles per hour can produce enough energy to cause whiplash in occupants, even when they wear seat belts. […] Other common causes of whiplash include contact sport injuries and blows to the head from a falling object or being assaulted.

  The injury occurs in three stages with a rapid loss of lordosis. Both the upper and lower spines experience flexion in stage one. In stage two the spine assumes an S-shape while it begins to extend and eventually straighten to make the neck lordotic again. The final phase shows the entire spine in extension with an intense sheering force that causes compression of the facet joint capsules. […] The Quebec task force (QTF) defined whiplash as bony or soft tissue injuries as a result of rear-end or side-impact in road traffic accidents, and from other injuries resulting in an acceleration-deceleration mechanism of energy transfer to the cervical spine. […] Most WADs are considered to be minor soft tissue-based injuries without evidence of fracture.

• #8 What Causes Whiplash in Car Accidents? – Pottroff

  https://www.pottroff.com/car-accidents/what-causes-whiplash-in-car-accidents/

  Whiplash is one of the most common yet serious car accident injuries, often causing neck stiffness, headaches, and long-term discomfort. While it can occur in any crash, rear-end collisions are the primary cause. […] Whiplash occurs when the soft tissues in the neck and upper back are stretched beyond their normal range due to a violent, jerking motion. […] During a crash, even with a seatbelt on, your head remains unrestrained. The force of impact can cause it to snap back and forth uncontrollably, straining the soft tissues. […] While any crash can cause whiplash, certain types of collisions increase the risk: Rear-End Collisions, Side-Impact Crashes, Rollover Accidents. […] Pain isn’t always immediate due to an adrenaline surge in the aftermath of a crash. […] When soft tissues are injured, inflammation and swelling put pressure on surrounding nerves, intensifying the pain. […] Many whiplash victims also suffer concussions—a traumatic brain injury that affects memory, balance, and cognitive function.

• #9 Common Causes of Whiplash Injuries

  https://advancedinjurycareclinic.com/blog/common-causes-of-whiplash-injuries/

  A whiplash injury is a neck sprain or neck strain that occurs when your head moves backward and forward suddenly, with great force, and without warning. […] Whiplash is most often caused by a car accident, and more specifically, a rear-end collision. […] The rear impact of the collision causes the head and neck to be forced into a hyperextended position as the seat pushes the person’s torso forward and the unrestrained head and neck fall backward. […] Recent studies investigating these accidents using high-speed cameras and crash dummies have determined that after the rear impact, the bones in your lower neck are forced into a position of hyperextension while the bones in your upper neck area are in a hyperflexed position. […] This abnormal motion causes damage to the soft tissues like the ligaments, facet capsules, and muscles that hold the cervical vertebrae together.

  Whiplash and neck injuries are commonly associated with rear-end car accidents, where the occupants of the front vehicle are unprepared for impact. […] But whiplash injuries can result from other types of incidents too, including: car and truck accidents that don’t involve rear-end impact, contact sports like football, hockey, and soccer, intentional assaults that produce head trauma (a hard shove from behind, for example), skiing and snowboarding accidents, repetitive stress injuries at work, child abuse (shaken baby syndrome, for example), and slip and fall accidents in stores and homes or on poorly-maintained sidewalks. […] A quick note on misconceptions about whiplash causes: It’s a common misconception that only high speed, serious collisions result in whiplash-type injuries. In actuality, whiplash is commonly caused by low speed, low impact, rear-end automobile collisions. The causes of whiplash are complex and relate to a range of factors beyond just the force of impact. These factors include the position of the driver or passenger’s head at the time of impact; the person’s seating position, height, and gender; the position of seat and head restraints; and the relative size and weight of the vehicles involved in the accident. […] Another misconception about whiplash is that, because it involves soft tissue, whiplash is minor and not all that serious of an injury. However, medical evidence suggests that soft tissue injuries can be serious and can have long-term effects if left untreated.

• #19 What Is Whiplash?

  https://www.spine-health.com/conditions/neck-pain/what-whiplash

  Whiplash occurs when the neck and head are suddenly forced backward and then forward, putting the cervical spine through lightning-quick motions and extreme stresses. […] Most cases of whiplash are caused by car accidents where the person has been rear-ended. Other potential whiplash causes, while comparatively rare, can include assault, bungee jumping, rollercoaster, football, falls while skiing or during equestrian events, and other high-impact activities where extreme acceleration-deceleration forces might be applied to the cervical spine. […] Whiplash is medically known as cervical acceleration-deceleration (CAD) syndrome. […] The process of a whiplash injury sustained in a car accident can vary depending on many factors, including the angle of the collision. […] While the severity of the car crash usually correlates to the severity of the whiplash injury, there are exceptions.

• #20 What Really Causes Whiplash? | Frank E. Kaden, D.C. Chiropractic, Inc.

  https://www.kadenchiropractic.com/patient-education-2/chiropractic-adjustments/what-really-causes-whiplash/

  Whiplash is a non-medical term for a condition that occurs when the neck and head move rapidly forwards and backwards or, sideways, at a speed so fast our neck muscles are unable to stop the movement from happening. This sudden force results in the normal range of motion being exceeded and causes injury to the soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments) of the neck. Classically, whiplash is associated with car accidents or, motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) but can also be caused by other injuries such as a fall on the ice and banging the head, sports injuries, as well as being assaulted, including shaken baby syndrome. […] The confusing part about whiplash is that it can occur in low speed collisions such as 5-10 mph, sometimes more often than at speeds of 20 mph or more. The reason for this has to do with the vehicle absorbing the energy of the collision. At lower speeds, there is less crushing of the metal (less damage to the vehicle) and therefore, less of the energy from the collision is absorbed. The energy from the impact is then transferred to the contents inside the vehicle (that is, you)! […] Mild brain injury can occur even when the head is not bumped or hit.
