You’re sitting at a red light, and bam, you’ve been rear-ended. The impact came out of nowhere, maybe your airbag went off, and you made sure everyone in the car was ok. People run over, ask how you’re feeling and you say, ‘Fine’.* And other than the shock, you do feel fine.
For now. Then you go home, and your neck and your back start to hurt. Your head starts to pound, and it becomes harder to stand up and walk around.
Whiplash might be the topic of many stand-up comedy routines, but it is real and it can affect your life.
