10 Symptoms of Whiplash
Symptom #4: Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain that begins soon after or even days following a violent head movement is yet another whiplash symptom. Shoulder pain can occur on its own or in addition to neck pain depending on the location and extent of the injury.
The injury may also affect the upper back. As with neck pain, shoulder pain due to whiplash can vary in severity depending on the damaged tissues and the extent of the injury. The shoulder or back pain may occur concurrently with, or separately from, other whiplash symptoms like a stiff neck and unstable neck. As with other whiplash symptoms, it is recommended that you consult a doctor for assessment.
