Whiplash is a sudden movement of the head that can lead to tearing of muscles, ligaments, and other soft-tissues.  The most commonly injured muscles are the longus colli and the sternocledomastoids. These muscles in the front of the neck can become very sore for several weeks.  Whiplash can also cause a stretching injury to the neck ligaments.  Common symptoms include headaches, stiffness, neck pain, mild dizziness, problems thinking or remembering, numbness and tingling, and jaw pain. Low back pain and hip pain are also common. Persistent pain and injury can now be treated by using your own adult stem cells to restore ligaments, bones and disks.
