Whiplash Injury symptoms are typically noticed the next morning after an accident, and medical advice should be obtained as soon as possible.

Although the effects are not usually permanent a whiplash injury can produce neck pain headaches, dizziness, shoulder and lower back pain for some time after the accident and can be very unpleasant.
