Halifax is located in Calderdale, West Yorkshire and has a population of more than 82,000. The town's economy relies heavily on service-based industries, manufacturing and confectionery.

Whiplash

Whiplash is caused by sudden movement of the head in any direction. Often resulting from an assault, car accident or fall, whiplash presents in the form of damage to the muscles, tendons or ligaments of the neck. Once overstretched, ligaments can cause extreme discomfort and pain for a prolonged period – as long as several years in the worst cases.

Whiplash may be diagnosed as either acute or chronic. The former causes various symptoms after the neck has been extended, rotated or flexed beyond its limit. Chronic whiplash presents when symptoms last longer than six months. Symptoms of whiplash include pain, swelling, immobility, stiffness, muscle spasms, tenderness, numbness, pain in the lower back, headaches and blurred vision. In extreme cases, whiplash patients may experience vertigo, nausea, tinnitus, memory loss, depression and anxiety.
