Prognosis
Labels Whiplash
Most people feel better within a few days or weeks after a whiplash
injury. Severe damage to the bones in the neck or to the spinal cord,
however, can result in permanent disability and chronic pain. There is
a 40 percent chance of having some symptoms as long as three months
after a whiplash injury, and an 18 percent chance that the symptoms will
last for as long as two years, but there is no reliable way to predict a specific
individual’s risk of falling into one of these two groups.
