7 Months!

The average time for a whiplash-injured patient to achieve maximum improvement is seven months and one week (Spine, 1994). Thus, contrary to many opinions tossed around, your neck pain and other associated symptoms of whiplash will not just “go away” after six weeks. It is crucial to complete all phases of treatment following an injury. If not, your body may suffer long-term problems such as arthritis, decreased mobility and chronic pain.
