Understanding Whiplash After a Car Accident in Hamilton

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents—especially rear-end collisions. For Hamilton drivers, timely physiotherapy is key to preventing chronic pain and restoring mobility.

What Is Whiplash?

Whiplash occurs when the neck is suddenly forced forward and backward, straining muscles, ligaments, and joints. Symptoms may include:

• • Neck pain and stiffness

• • Headaches

• • Shoulder pain

• • Dizziness or blurred vision
