Should I see a Doctor if I don’t have visible injuries?

It can take two or three days before any whiplash symptoms occur. Common whiplash symptoms include soreness, headaches, neck pain, and loss of motion. It can take a few days to feel symptoms because it takes time for the inflammation from the tiny tears in the injured ligaments and muscles to build up and further aggravate and cause pain. Regardless of the severity of the accident, whiplash can have lingering effects on the neck. Even if pain is not felt immediately the damage done to the neck can go undetected until it becomes a chronic condition. Seeing a Doctor also holds the insurance companies responsible for these expenses.
