The majority of neck sprains that occur are fairly mild or moderate, and will typically take anywhere from several days to several weeks before the injury is healed entirely. If the injury is severe, it will likely take a bit longer before symptoms are completely relieved. Once treatment for a neck sprain has commenced, it will likely take a few days before symptom relief is experienced, with the persisting symptoms often consisting of pain and stiffness in the neck and upper shoulders. In order for treatment to be effective, the cause of the injury must be addressed, making it often necessary to seek medical attention from a specialist in neck pain to ensure that the injury has healed properly and symptoms are completely alleviated. Most patients will recover from a neck strain or sprain in four to six weeks with correct therapy and rest. Visit us at Pain Specialist of Frisco for proper treatment and diagnosis.
