hello
thank you for contacting HCM
no in your case whiplash injury is unlikely to occur. you are having muscular spasm due to sudden jerky movement. i would suggest you following things:
> take proper rest for 2-3 days
> take hot water in rubber bottle and place against your neck and back. it will give soothing effect.
> take naproxen 500mg one at night for 3 days. it will relax your muscles and reduce pain.
hope this answers your question.
wishing you good health
