Ep179 Can You Get Concussion From Whiplash?

Can someone suffer a concussion without actually hitting their head? In this episode, we explore the connection between whiplash and concussion, including how rapid back-and-forth movement of the head and neck can move the brain inside the skull and produce concussion-like symptoms. We also discuss how whiplash and concussion symptoms heavily overlap, why rotational forces increase injury risk, and why proper medical assessment is important after any head or neck injury. Because sometimes it’s not “just whiplash”—and sometimes both injuries occur together.
