If I had a pound for every time I have used the phrase “whiplash is normally a lot more complicated than most people think<\/em>” then I’d be a rich man indeed! I’ve said it many times in my articles on the subject, and I normally say it to anyone who asks me for advice about whiplash claims and personal injury compensation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whiplash can cause a number of associated side effects, and headaches are one of them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So most people simply write off whiplash as a tiny bit of neck and back pain – but if you are suffering from it, or if you have suffered from it in the past, then chances are you’ll know that it is not that simple. There is a negative stigma attached to a whiplash injury, and most of it is nothing more than media-fuelled myths that are started by the insurance industry to put people off claiming.<\/p>\n

As with many things in life that involve money, there are those who can try and ‘milk’ the system or are not honest in their claims. But this is a small minority and most of them are caught out – so don’t ever feel that your symptoms are not claim-worthy because news presenters and articles in the papers aim to try and make you feel guilty about making a whiplash compensation claim.<\/p>\n

To safeguard their massive profits, the insurers don’t want you to claim – it’s as simple as that!<\/p>\n

One of the side effects of whiplash that many people suffer with is headaches<\/strong>. I have had whiplash before and I never had any headaches myself, but I have spoken to plenty of people who have had whiplash and suffered with headaches for a number of days or weeks. It’s a known side effect and it can be taken in to account as part of your whiplash compensation claim.<\/p>\n

There are many other side effects that are often seen as ‘unusual’ as well – pins and needles in the arms, sickness, dizziness, and vertigo are some of the other commonly named few; but headaches is probably the most common side effect that people find unusual.<\/p>\n

Sadly there isn’t a great deal that can be done about many of the pains and problems associated with a whiplash type injury. Some physiotherapy can help – but in a lot of cases you can do nothing more than manage the pain and stiffness with pain killers and non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, and just wait it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
