How Long Does It Take For Whiplash To Go Away? How Do You Alleviate The Pain?

December 22nd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Pain

I was rear-ended by a car going about 25 mph last week. There is still so much pain in my neck and back, especially my left shoulder blade. Neither ice nor heat help. I’m taking a prescription pain-killer and anti-inflammatory medicine for the muscles, but the pain isn’t going away. What to do?!

    Whiplash can be difficult to treat.
    Sometimes the major symptom(s) won’t hit till much later as in weeks or months!
    In the mean time, you may benefit from some passive range of motion several times a day to keep the ligaments from healing “in-correctly”.
