Suffering spasms after a whiplash injury

One of the results of a whiplash injury can be muscle spasms. This is when a muscle contracts without being consciously willed to do so, and can be a source of pain in itself.

The word spasm comes from an old Greek word meaning to pull or contract violently, and to a person suffering from muscle spasms, the violence of the contraction can be very real. This can be one of the sources of pain for a person who has been in a car accident and is suffering from whiplash - but may not be the only one. Hyperflexion injuries can be complex in their causes and effects.

Spasms that may be familiar include muscle cramps, twitches, and the mysteriously named 'charley horse'; if a sufferer feels these kinds of recognisable sensations, it is worth mentioning them to a medical professional as the information may help with the treatment of the personal injury.

Treatment of spasm may vary from natural and herbal methods such as temperature and valerian to pharmaceuticals like NSAIDS, steroids and prescription muscle relaxants. Sufferers should discuss their symptoms with their doctors, who will be able to recommend the best treatment for a whiplash neck injury.
