Whiplash describes the sprain of neck muscles or strain of the muscles in the neck. It is typically associated with accidents, but it can happen in many situations when there is a sudden flexion and extension of the neck. If a disc is bulging or otherwise predisposed to disc herniation but not painful prior to the whiplash event, it may herniate at the time of the whiplash event.
