Whiplash Injury

Has anyone got any tips for helping with whiplash & soft tissue/muscle damage?
Was in an accident 3 weeks ago & suffering with whiplash & soft tissue/muscle damage in my neck, shoulder & arm. Doing all the usual pain meds, exercises the hospital gave me, heat packs but I'm starting to feel really useless! My arm also feels a bit weaker than it did before. I'm wondering if gentle swimming might help (sis done that for physio when she had a knee op, i know it's not the same but wondering if it might help) or maybe even going for a massage but scared that will aggravate it? Thanks

See a chiropractor, they will asses if it’s safe to treat you post whiplash injury. Can assist with rehab also. Good luck op.
