Whiplash
Whiplash is a neck injury that often occurs following a rear end auto collision. Your head suddenly moves backward and then forward which pushes your muscles and ligaments beyond their normal range of motion. Injuries can range from mild to severe. Treatment ranges from over the counter medication and ice applied to neck muscles or in more severe cases prescription medications and/or physical therapy may be needed.
Headache after whiplash injury is also common. The whiplash headache can often outweigh the neck pain in terms of severity - particularly in the early weeks after injury. Typically the pain goes up from the neck and then over the back of the head.

Factors may include, but are not limited to, residual or recurrent disc herniation, persistent post-operative pressure on a nerve, and spinal muscular deconditioning.
