Here's why you should always wear your seat belt in the car

Whiplash injury.
This term is used to describe neck injuries that are usually caused by sudden, violent movement of the cervical spine, supporting muscles and soft tissues.

Traffic accidents are the most common cause of whiplash injuries. Excessive flexion and extension of the cervical vertebrae results in an S-shaped curvature of the spine.

Symptoms of whiplash include neck pain or stiffness, headache, back pain, and numbness or tingling in the shoulders and arms.
