I got into a car accident in may and my doctor told me i had whip lash how long does it last my back hurts really bad?

Recheck: You should be re evaluated to make sure that there is not an ongoing problem that did not show up on the initial evaluation. You may end up up just needing neck range of motion exercises for three months. Be sure to get checked out to make sure what the appropriate treatment is for your specific situation.

Can last years but:: Unfortunately, some people have pain lasting years after whiplash unless they receive proper treatment. The most effective treatment I know of is micrcurrent therapy. Osteopathy, gentle chiropractic techniques & acupuncture can also help.
