There can be immediate symptoms or a delay in the onset of pain and possibly associated disability that can last for days, weeks, months, or longer, depending on each case.

Some will see the chiropractor immediately after the accident while others will visit a chiropractor after some time has passed and/or after seeing other healthcare specialists. Chiropractors are well suited to give treatment and advice to most victims of whiplash.
