Often misinterpreted: Whiplash is a description of a rapid acceleration/deceleration movement affecting the neck due to flexion/ extension forces. Chiropractors have used this term to describe the effects usually of a rear-end motor vehicle collision. Often the symptoms involve neck pain and stiffness.
