Pain or numbness can be noticed immediately. It is not uncommon for symptoms to show up much later, days, weeks or even months later. The reasons for this possible delay are numerous, but the problems should not be ignored just because they did not show up right away. Is whiplash permanent? In many cases the damage is reversible if the patient receives proper treatment in time. Care must address the joint alignment, muscle damage and even ligament damage. Unfortunately, some cases have permanent damage from bulging discs, torn ligaments or muscle damage. These cases require more regular care and may eventually end in surgery.
