Suffering from whiplash can be a painful and uncomfortable experience. Depending on the severity of the injury, it can cause a range of symptoms, including loss of range of motion in the neck, tenderness or pain in the shoulder, upper back, or arms, and tingling or numbness in the arms. The amount of time it takes to recover from whiplash depends on a variety of factors, such as the cause of the injury, personal circumstances, health history, and more. Treatment is focused on allowing the injury to heal as much as possible on its own while providing support and minimizing symptoms.
If you experience fainting or loss of consciousness due to the event that caused your whiplash, it is important to seek medical attention.
