There is a wide range of beliefs about treating whiplash injury. Doctors, therapists, and chiropractors often have difference ways of approaching the same problem. And today's modern research hasn't cleared up the confusion yet. That's because no one, single treatment is known to work the best for this problem.

One thing most everyone agrees on is rest versus activity. Most health care professionals will advise patients with post-whiplash pain to work through the symptoms. Rest is okay in small doses, but complete bed rest is not advised.
