El ’latigazo cervical' se produce generalmente en colisiones traseras-muchas veces a velocidad baja-y se cobra lesiones de cuello y nuca debido a una torsión forzada, hacia adelante y hacia atrás. Son lesiones difíciles de diagnosticar, sobre todo porque suelen aparecer tiempo después del accidente y sus síntomas son equívocos y muy numerosos : desde dolores en los brazos hasta visión borrosa, pasando por zumbidos en los oídos, pérdida de memoria, irritabilidad, insomnio o mareos, hasta dolores en la región lumbar o de cabeza.
