Following a car accident how long does it take before you start to notice the first symptoms of whiplash in your neck and shoulders?
Symptoms of neck and shoulder pain following a car accident can start immediately or initial whiplash symptoms can be masked by the shock of the accident itself.
Typically – you will leave the scene of the car accident and an hour or so later once the shock of the accident has subsided your symptoms of neck pain will first start to appear.
You should at this stage immediately report to your GP or the hospital to have your whiplash symptoms properly recorded and to receive the correct treatment.
