I have suffered with whiplash twice now after being involved in two car accidents (not my fault may I add!!!) its awful and very painful.....I would definately get checked out at A&E just to make sure not damaged vertebra......I still suffer with neck now years later....... I have alot of treatment and found the best was an osteopath...really helped....

Agreed Kate, I just made the assumption that Claire had already chose to see or speak to a GP or A&E regarding the injury and was just looking for treatment ideas. Since she had mentioned she was trying to contact her doctor... I had whiplash from a car accident and i have to go to a chiropractor and acupuncturist once a month for my issues.

In all honesty I would get yourself to a Dr or A+E - cervical spine fractures or cracks are far more common than people think - better safe than sorry esp if your range of movement was limited immediately after the incident. Sorry to scare you but far better to have reassurance than to cause more harm by having the area manipulated if there is something serious going on. Fingers and everything else crossed that I am being alarmist but have a lot of diagnostic radiographer buddies who tell horror stories about theme park incidents! xx

Actually I agree with you there Kate

I agree again, as much of a pain that it is going to A+E, it is always better to be safe than sorry! A massage is great but I would not get one until you know theres no serious damage!

Hope your alryt!!!

massage, heat packs and a combo of ibuprofen and paracetemol should sort you out!!!

having suffered from whiplash on several occasions be prepared for it to come back and attack again!!!

either deep tissue massage (sports massage) or go to a chiropractor(ideally mctimmony) they usually cost about £45 for the first consult and then £30-28 following. Also best to find one that uses acupuncture along with their treatment. Those are the best.

Hi,

Lots of sympathy for you! I too hurt my neck on holiday, but nothing like how sore your's sounds! If it's muscular, then a massage should be safe enough I would imagine.

Hope you get it sorted soon though!
