Acute symptoms (immediately after injury)

When to seek help?
It is important to seek help if you experience persistent symptoms that affect your daily life or prevent you from carrying out your normal activities. Symptoms such as neck and head pain, dizziness, difficulty concentrating or fatigue can be signs that your body has not recovered properly after a whiplash. Even mild symptoms that persist can have an impact on your long-term quality of life, and early intervention can make a significant difference.
Whether the symptoms are new or have persisted for a long time, it is recommended to see a doctor or specialist to get a thorough assessment and a plan for treatment and rehabilitation.
