A member asked:

When to go to the doctor for whiplash?

Good question: Whiplash is a vague term, but if you have neck pain, headaches, dizziness, numbness, weakness, imbalance, loss of vision, double vision, or other persistent and troublesome symptoms following trauma from a motor vehicle accident or other event, likely best to get this evaluated. Most "whiplashes" gradually stabilize without much therapy in spite of advertising by entrapreneurial chiropractors.

Nerve symptoms: When electrical paingoes down into arms nerve ponching symptoms or if pain worsens with time or dosent improve at all over time ( this is not the same as getting back to normal) time is the best healer for neckache from whiplash my opinion.
