See someone: Whiplash is usually from rear end car accidents, but you may have strained your neck. Healing can take several weeks or more. On the other hand, if the pain is not improving, see your primary doctor or a spinal specialist to check for a serious injury. Definitely see someone if you have numbness, weakness, trouble using your hand, arm, leg.

Months: May take months to a year. Make sure you had your c-spine cleared and you were evaluated for vertebral artery dissection.
