How do you know if you have whip lash?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your neck hurts: Whiplash is another term for a neck strain. Typically the cause is a motor vehicle accident or other trauma that "whips" the head around. Often the symptoms do not begin till the next day. If you have significant neck pain following an accident you should make sure that you do not have a fracture or torn ligaments.
