Can whiplash pain affect me when i'm older?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Whiplash : Yes it can, as it sometimes contribute to more pain from normal degeneration than expected. Keep flexible and use anti inflammatories diligently. Cervical traction may help for a flare up.

Possibly: A portion of the population with severe whiplash can develop chronic neck pain. This would then require a work up.
