Whiplash

Whiplash is a generalized term used to describe the tissue changes that may occur around the neck and throughout the body following sudden acceleration/deceleration. This can be an event as obvious as being T-boned by a dump truck, or something as seemingly benign as a slip on the ice or missing the last stair. When something unexpected happens to our bodies they tense hard for stability. I imagine the body building a cast out of all contractile tissues to protect injured or delicate structures from unpredictable forces. This anatomical casting is AMAZING! It often saves us from imminent catastrophic damage. It can become destructive when the muscles don’t return to their normal state allowing for efficient and pain-free motion during daily life though. These mobility changes, left untreated, can lead to chronic pain, fatigue, stiffness, inactivity, and degenerative processes throughout the musculoskeletal system. Life can be a bit harder to enjoy in a body that is plagued by the symptoms of whiplash.
