Cochrane reviews

Intravenous injection of methylprednisolone appears to have short term benefits in acute whiplash. There is insufficient or weak evidence for other medical treatments for chronic mechanical neck disorder (MND) Medicinal and Injection Therapies for Mechanical Neck Disorders.

Manual therapy seems to have no effect for patients suffering whiplash trauma, although there is no evidence from controlled studies Manual Therapy for Whiplash.
