About Pain
Pain is an unpleasant experience we've all felt. Its the feeling we get when a toe gets stubbed, when lemon juice squirts in your eyes, or you forget to wash your hands before you go to the bathroom after cutting-up spicy peppers. It's the body's natural reaction to protect a healing part of the body, and to remind us not to do the thing that hurt us anymore. So pay attention to your body, because contrary to what Patrick Swayze said in 'Roadhouse,' pain does hurt.
About Whiplash
Whiplash is a non-medical term used to describe any damage to the soft tissue of the neck. It is caused by a sudden jolt that extends the neck beyond its normal range of motion. Whiplash can occur during an assault, car accidents, while playing sports, or a sudden fall.
