Whip lash, pulled muscles, how long will it take to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Longer than expected: you need physical therapy, and NSAIDs for at least 2 weeks. Rest and no overuse. Common sense. It can take months for the spasm and ligamentous pain to disappear. I recommend an MRI for a severe injury.
