Whiplash injury

Whiplash injury is an injury to the neck that’s usually associated with car accidents in which your car is rear-ended or struck from behind by another vehicle. It can happen even from low speed crashes.

The symptoms of whiplash may vary. For example;

You may notice reduced range of movement of your neck.

You may experience neck, shoulder or back pain.

You may be dizzy or giddy.

You may have headaches.

Although you may notice some of these symptoms immediately after an accident occurs, sometimes it may take several days or more before any symptoms appear.

If you think you have a whiplash injury, it’s wise to see your health care practitioner immediately, no matter how minor the symptoms appear to be. The longer you delay, the more damage can be done to your neck.

 And once your injury has been attended to, it’s good idea to select a supportive pillow to minimize the return of the symptoms. One of the most recommended pillows for people who suffer from neck pain and associated discomfort is the Mediflow Waterbase Pillow.  It’s especially effective for whiplash injuries, with a unique Waterbase design that continuously adapts to support your head as you change position on your pillow through the night.
