Answer -
Scott,

Whiplash injuries happen just the way you described.

Muscles go into contraction and stay tight.  Dizziness is a common effect of tight neck muscles, due to the relation of neck/head movements to the balance centers of the inner ear.

Not surprising your doctors missed that.

You need to gain the ability to relax your neck.  That will solve your problem.  That can't be done for you or to you; you have to learn such control, yourself.

May I suggest you read the article on whiplash injuries at somatics.com/page4.htm.  A solution is described.

will the neck pain keep coming back and the dizzyness and in the future will i be more pron to more neck injurys i do take musscle relaxants and pain relivers and they do help a lot but the pain in my neck when it hurts it hurts lol but what gets me they didnt see anything in mris and ct scan and my wife said they whiplash get worse with time but i dont know well shes in school to be a docter herself well she needs to get in to med school first lol she comes back and tells me so much stuff about the human body and what this does and all that lol well i guess im boring u so i wont waste your time anymore but let me know just a little more and thank you very much  

Answer
Have you read the article, as I suggested?

Once you handle the muscular control issue, the pain and dizziness will disappear.  If you don't do so, you will likely keep the effects of the whiplash injury for a long time and remain subject to symptoms and vulnerable to injury from lesser causes.  Muscle relaxants and pain relievers are useless from the standpoint of freeing yourself of muscular reactions to injury.
