The neck contains many structures that work together to support the head and allow smooth movement, including muscles, ligaments, disks, nerves, and facet joints. During a whiplash injury, the neck can experience rapid forces that stretch these tissues, contributing to the myriad symptoms collectively known as whiplash-associated disorders (WAD). According to a recent systematic review, injuries to the cervical facet joints—small joints located at the back of the spine that guide movement between the vertebrae—are a common source of pain following whiplash, even if routine imaging tests do not reveal obvious structural damage.

There are many reasons why your back pain might not go away as quickly as you’d like. It could be that you’ve reinjured your back without realizing it or that the pain has caused you to stiffen up too much.
