What are the effects if someone accidently punched your back of the neck?

Well, a lot of time has passed since he first got hurt, so I would say he has as much of a chance as anyone else at being ok. He should just keep an eye out for any strange symptoms in the future.

it has brain threatening side effects!  A person could also go berserk & put him/her self in harm's way.  Like attacking someone, or running out in traffic, or being so crazed that police have to baton him to calm him down.  I've seen it in action - it's awful!  They are like rabid animals!

In boxing often times the fighter will often try to headbutt-the opponent's jaw, shoulder or chin to hurt his opponent rather than himself. It's always best to avoid the eyes, temple or forehead, though some fighters try to do it to open up a cut on their opponents. It is also possible to cause serious injury if the headbutt hits the nerve around the eye socket, but that can also be dangerous to the one doing the headbutting. Either way, I wouldn't recommend using that as a technique. Most headbutts in boxing are accidental.

This is entirely possible that you got whiplash.  Go see your doctor.  Any sudden whipping force on your neck could cause this.  A friend of mine got it from hitting a bump while waterskiiing.\n\nI have experienced whiplash from a car accident.  At first, you feel a little sore and can still move your head around.  Then after a few hours, it starts to stiffen up.  It then hurts more, and seems to spread to your shoulders and back.  Your symptoms sound like this.\n\nAlso, since this is the U.S., you can probably sue the waterpark if they did not maintain the tube properly.  You might want to contact a lawyer as well if the doctor confirms that you have whiplash.  \n\nIf you do, post another question here asking how to recover from whiplash.  There are more effective methods than conventional medicine prescribes.

Oh course it can hurt the baby!  An infants feck muscles are not very stong at all, and the head is much larger and heavier than our heads in proportion to our bodies.  \n\nShe needs to stop before she breaks her childs neck!

You should never hang upside for back pain.  This is an old myth.  Actually studies have found that it can cause more harm than good.

In all honesty, I have never heard of such a thing happening before. Here's what I know about chiropractic: Chiropractic works to remove interference of the Central Nervous System (brain, spinal cord, and nerves) by correcting spinal misalignment (aka subluxation) that could be pinching a nerve. So possibly, maybe (sounds unlikely to me though) an adjustment could release the pressure on a specific nerve, and this could send a signal to the brain and cause this. I worked in a chiropractic office before, and am now a chiropractic student but I have never heard anything about this. I'm curious, did this happen to you or did you hear about it? \n\nIt could also be something about the patient. Maybe that person was nervous about receiving an adjustment, and just let out those feelings after the adjustment.

It depends on how hard the head was hit.  He/she may just be a little stunned, but if there are any other indications of brain damage, or if the loss of speach persists, you should get him/her to a hospital.  Try asking questions, see if the person understands you, or try to get them to write answers down.\nIf the person's head was hit very hard, don't wait.  When it comes to a person's brain, you shouldn't take any chances.

No, but nearly had my head taken off by a clothesline.  Riding a dirt-bike in the yard, didn't realize foster-mom had strung a line between the orange trees, saw it a half-second before I hit it.  Had just enough time to raise up off the seat, causing it to strike me across the chest and upper arms instead of the neck.  Snatched me off the bike quicker than lickity-split too (and left a nasty welt as well).

You probably got whiplash.\n\nThis usually happens in car accidents, but it's a result of a sudden shock to the spine or neck.\n\nYou could try seeing a chiropractor, who can help you realign the vertebrae in your spine.

Your back goes out as a result of unequal muscles on either side of the spine.. There is considerable need to attempt to stretch the shorter muscle to be equal with the larger one. These muscles are what holds your back in place and carry an equal load.. When one side is doing the greater load bearing, it will cause your vertebrae to move into unatural position and start a process of inflammation and tissue edema.. Often times to loss of mobility.\n\nWould suggest you visit a doctor of Chiropractic. One who recommends specific stretching for you to do at home.. Need to ask that question before going to see one.

Hanging, when done 'correctly', causes a fracture of the 2nd cervical vertebra.  This is literally called a "Hangman's Fracture".  The fractured vertebra severs the spinal cord.  This instantly disrupts nervous system control of respiration (paralysis of the diaphragm and accessory breathing muscles) and thus causes rapid asphyxiation.\n\nNote: if the hanging is done 'poorly', the vertebra does not fracture and the person slowly, often very slowly, chokes to death.  If you are to be 'hung', hope for an experienced and competent hangman!\n\nBest wishes.

Whenever a boxer is hit hard enough in a certain place, the fist compresses arteries in the neck and causes a minor stroke. This may sound bad, but it really isn't.

Yes. Any strain on the larynx could be damaging.
