Avoid whiplash: It was drilled into my head a long time ago to avoid the word whiplash as it can be confusion. Certainly, there are muscles and ligaments that you can strain from side to side injury as well.

I got whiplash two weeks ago and I tipped my head back to drink water and I felt a pinching feeling in the back of my neck, pain on the left side of my neck, and I got a headache. Is that a result of the whiplash or could I have hurt myself more?
