It can take several months to years depending on the severity of the injury. Make sure you have a good Doctor and ask when you can start/need physical therapy.

It really all depends. If it's just minor, it could be a day or a couple of days. As it gets more serious it could take longer. Weeks or months in some really bad cases. The worst part is that often times, even a minor wiplash injury can resurface down the road and become a serious problem. Even after feeling just fine for several months or even years.
If you have wiplash and haven't seen a doctor yet I would highly recommend it. Get the x-rays and the injury on record incase more serious long term issues pop up. That way you will be covered by insurance.

Depends on the severity of the whiplash. I had it once in 2006 and it was from just a small fender bender but my neck and back hurt like cracy 3 days later. It went away completely in like two weeks. For others it can last years.

It can take years. I speak from personal experience. But I think that I would have been better off if I had done the strengthening exercises that the doc gave me to do right after it happened. I didn't do them and now it's been more than 17 years and my neck still bothers me if I do too much writing at a desk. Just follow the doctor's instructions. Really.

7 years ago I've been involved in a car wreck and even since suffered with severe on and off facial and jaw pain. I've tried almost everything western medicine had to offer and had visited countless of specialist, had done ct scans, and therapies but to no avail. The doctors I have been to had persisted that there wasn't anything wrong with me and that almost drove me crazy as I was going through hell from this condition. According to all my symptoms I was diagnosed by a holistic doctor as having TMJ and he had recommended this book to me. After following the recommendation in the book for several weeks, it had changed my life. I got immediate relief after following the unique set of exercises in the book and after 2 weeks the jaw and face pain had completely gone. I only wish I would have ordered this program years ago. It would have saved me a lot of pain and anguish.

A couple a days to a week! If worse then more than a month! But of course you can't recover from it emotionally!

I'm a nurse. It really depends on the person. Take good care of yourself, a muscle relaxant will help too.
