Best Answer

Whiplash (traumatic cervical spine ligamentous injury) and shoulder impingement ( a syndrome of pain and limited motion secondary to anatomic constraints between the rotator cuff and the acromioclavicular complex) are two distinct clinical entities. One does not cause the other. The underlying question posed is to know if there is a causal relationship between spine and shoulder pain. That is a question answered by careful history questionning, clinical examination, and eventually imaging tests.
