HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECOVER FROM WHIPLASH?
​Recovery from whiplash is dependent on many factors. These include the type of tissue(s) injured, the amount of tissue damage, and the ability for you to modify your lifestyle and activities.
​
Normal soft-tissue healing time is 6 to 8 weeks (if appropriately managed early) and this does not include the time if takes to rebuild strength, endurance, mobility and stability. For this reason, seeking treatment as early as possible is highly recommended.
