1.  Neck Pain – Neck pain is the most common complaint when suffering from whiplash. Soreness felt on the back of the neck is usually due to facet joint pain. Chronic pain caused by whiplash is most likely due to disc injury. Immediate pain after an auto accident is due to damaged ligaments and muscles..
2. Headaches – Headaches are the next most common complaint after whiplash. These can be due to the brain hitting the skull during impact,many are due to injury to muscles, ligaments and facet joints of the cervical spine. 
3. TM dysfunction: TM is the temporomandibular joint or jaw joint along with the surrounding muscles. TM dysfunction can be quite painful, making it difficult to eat, swallow, etc. 
4. Brain Injury- The human brain is made up of soft tissue. During accidents, your head usually gets thrown backwards and forward which can lead to bruising and bleeding. Long term brain injuries from whiplash can cause confusion, trouble concentrating, sleep disturbances, and irritability.
5. Dizziness- Dizziness is temporary but can be easily treated with chiropractic care.
