Whiplash, or cervical acceleration-deceleration (CAD) syndrome, is an injury to the neck that usually develops after a car accident, traumatic fall, or collision while playing a contact sport.
When the neck is lurched back and forth suddenly or moves beyond its normal range of motion, individuals tend to experience intense pain, stiffness and headaches (whiplash).
