We examined 524 patients with whiplash injuries for delayed onset of shoulder pain in order to establish whether this was due to impingement syndrome. A total of 476 patients (91%) responded to a questionnaire of which 102 (22%) were entered into the study; 43 had both a positive impingement sign and Neer test. The incidence of impingement-type pain was 9%. After treatment 23 patients (5%) had a significant improvement in their symptoms, ten (2%) had a moderate improvement and nine had no improvement. Impingement-type pain can occur after whiplash injuries and can be successfully treated.
