Whiplash or trauma does not usually cause neck herniated discs. What is more likely to happen is that the already non-symptomatic neck disc bulge or herniation that you already have will become bigger or become symptomatic after a whiplash injury. Discs in the neck most commonly herniate when already weakened and aged disc simply undergo normal daily movement usually with upward motion of the arm. For instance, some patients developed herniated neck discs by reaching up for the soap in the shower.
