Rest is important when you have a whiplash injury. Avoid activities that could increase pain. Heat applications can relieve pain. Pain-relieving medications can be taken in consultation with a doctor. Physical therapy can provide exercises to relieve pain and improve mobility. If symptoms persist, an orthopedist or physiotherapist should be consulted.

Whiplash, which often occurs after car accidents, was studied more intensively in the 20th century. It affects the cervical spine and occurs due to sudden movements of the head. The precise discovery and research of whiplash began during this period as the anatomy and biomechanical aspects of the cervical spine were further studied. Advances in imaging technology such as X-rays and MRI helped improve diagnosis. Today, whiplash research has advanced, and modern approaches such as physical therapy, pain management, and cervical collars are used to aid recovery.
