Whiplash injuries need not be the result of car accidents. A slip or fall can give you a whiplash-type injury and sudden movement, especially if repetitive, may cause injury as well. Normally, the joints at the back of your neck glide over each other and are self-lubricated but a whiplash injury forces them together, damaging the surrounding area, which includes nerves, muscles, ligaments and discs.  Damage from a whiplash-type injury can give a variety of symptoms including:

•     dizziness
•     light headedness
•     neck pain
•     headaches
•     arm pain
•     fatigue
•     poor concentration
