Whiplash injuries usually affect the working parts of your neck and mid back. The muscles rather than the vertebrae or bones in the spine tend to be the most affected. Muscles repair themselves extremely well and usually require only minimal treatment.

It is common to suffer minor nerve damage in whiplash related accidents. This can result in numbness along the arms, hands or even the legs and feet. Again this kind of injury will usually repair itself and is unlikely to require serious treatment such as surgery.

X rays do not pick up classic whiplash soft tissue injuries. They only show the bones and the alignment of the spine. They also show degeneration (which means natural wear and tear or normal changes in the spine as we age) and signs of arthritis which can affect a person’s ability to recover from a personal injury of this nature.

People suffering with chronic or long lasting injuries may be sent for MRI investigations. This type of scan does reveal tissue based injury and can be very useful in identifying the precise area of damage.
