Whiplash injury is a common consequence of road traffic accidents, particularly rear-end collisions. It occurs due to a sudden forceful movement of the neck, leading to soft tissue damage, pain, and restricted mobility.
Accurate medical assessment is essential in medicolegal cases to evaluate the severity of injury and its long-term impact. Dr. Kavita Poply provides professional expert witness services for whiplash injuries, delivering clear, structured, and evidence-based reports for legal proceedings.
What is Whiplash Injury?
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by rapid forward and backward movement of the head. This motion can strain or damage muscles, ligaments, and soft tissues in the cervical spine.
Symptoms may appear immediately or develop over time, making proper medical evaluation important.
Common Symptoms of Whiplash
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Reduced range of motion
- Headaches, often starting at the base of the skull
- Shoulder and upper back pain
- Dizziness or fatigue
- Tingling or numbness in arms
Persistent symptoms may indicate more complex injury and require further evaluation.
