Abstract
Whiplash injuries of the cervical spine are frequently reported following motor vehicle accidents. Whilst many affected patients recover, their treatment can often present challenges. The history of this condition and its precursor 'railway spine' demonstrates a long period of controversy between proponents of physical or psychological causes or even malingering. This paper analyses the evolution of ideas about whiplash from the nineteenth century to the present which reveal the improved understanding of the nature and mechanism of this disorder.
