Whiplash is an injury to the neck commonly caused when sitting in a car that is either shunted in the rear, or which hits an object at the front. Although the body is strapped in, the head is not restrained and sudden acceleration or deceleration will jerk the head backwards and then forwards (or vice versa) to overstretch tissues in the neck.
ACUMED patches can be placed directly as shown for, neck problems, as illustrated on the body maps below. Alternatively, one or more of the patches can be placed on any of the acupressure points outlined here by red dots.
