A strain is when a muscle or tendon in your body gets overstretched or torn. Tendons are the flexible bands of tissue that attach muscles to bones. A sprain occurs when a ligament near a joint gets overstretched or torn. Ligaments are tough, fibrous bands of tissue that connect one bone to another bone.
Whiplash is caused by a sudden, hard blow to the neck and is often seen after automobile accidents due to a collision causing a person to jerk back-and-forth in their seat. These injuries are usually treated by pain medications, cooling and warming therapy, a cervical collar or brace to immobilize the neck, and/or physical therapy to regain function and mobility in the neck. Whiplash could fall under the category of a strain or sprain depending on how the injury played out.
It can fall under the category of sprains since it damages one or more ligaments in the upper spinal column known as the cervical portion. The back and forth motion could cause hyperextension when the head is thrown back, and hyperflexion when the head is thrown back forward. This could stretch or tear ligaments in the neck. But, it could be a strain if the sudden force stretches and/or tears the muscles in the neck also. This would result in muscle pain and stiffness, swelling, limited range of motion, and sharp or throbbing pain in the neck.
If another person caused your injuries, you can file a claim against them for monetary damages.
