Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist, here to answer your query.

Whiplash injury can cause neck injury, and in some cases head injury as well.I would suggest you to get a cervical spine X-ray done.In fact, it would be better if you can visit a neurologist for physical examination.That would help plan the investigations.As you have headache also, a CT scan of head may also be required.

Hope that helps.If you have some further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up else please close the thread,rate it and write a review.

Regards
