What You Need to Know About Delayed Pain After a Car AccidentBottom Line:If you can walk away after a car accident without any catastrophic injuries, you may consideryourself lucky. Even if you feel ok after exchanging information and speaking with the police, itis always a good idea to see a chiropractor after an accident. With adrenaline pumping directlyafter an accident, your brain may not register pain signals coming from your body. It's only afteryou have some time to calm down do you notice that you're struggling with injuries. Why it Matters:Ignoring a new ache or pain after a car accident, and hoping it will go away, is not smart. Evenminor symptoms can be an indication of a more significant problem. Receiving a complete andthorough evaluation is critical to discovering injuries early on so that you can receive the bestcare and treatment to put your injuries in the rear-view mirror as quickly as possible. Thefollowing symptoms often have a delayed onset and may not appear for hours, or days, afteryour accident. • Headaches: a concussion, neck injury, mild traumatic brain injury, or whiplash can createheadaches after a car accident. Don't dismiss a headache or dizziness until it's been adequatelyevaluated by a doctor.• Back pain: Pain in your back after a car accident can take hours or days to begin. This couldbe a sign of a spinal disc injury, soft tissue injury, or whiplash.• Neck/Shoulder Pain: If you notice pain in your neck, shoulders, or arms, it may be a sign ofwhiplash or a spinal injury. Next Steps: Delayed onset of symptoms after a car accident is quite common. It doesn't mean that you're "making it up." The stress of a car accident can make it difficult to truly assess how you feel in the minutes after impact. It takes time for swelling and inflammation to begin, and if you notice pain hours, or even days, after your accident- don't dismiss it. Call us to schedule a proper evaluation  as soon as you can- it has the potential to make a massive difference in your quality of life and long-term health!

The Most Common Injuries After Car Accident Bottom Line: Whether you are just driving to work or taking a big family vacation, an unexpected car accident can cause painful injuries that impact you for months and years to come. The weight of your ve- hicle, combined with the speed, can create a tremendous amount of force. And, in an auto acci- dent, that force gets transferred directly to your body! Even low-speed collisions can generate enough force to cause serious injuries. Why it Matters: Seat belts save millions of lives each year and should be used every time you enter a vehicle. But, they also can contribute to a few of the most common spinal injuries. A sudden stop or change in direction during an accident can place a tremendous force on your chest. With your arms and legs unsecured, they can strike the interior of your car, causing injuries. Here are a few of the most common injuries after a car accident. • Head Injuries: Striking your head against the steering wheel, dashboard, or window can result in a severe head injury such as a concussion (which is considered a mild traumatic brain injury). • Spinal Injuries: The forces that occur during a car accident can cause spinal injuries like insta- bility, whiplash, or herniated discs. • Arm or Leg Injuries: Injuries to your shoulders (if you're holding the wheel) or your knees (if they hit the door or dashboard) are very common after a car accident. Next Steps: If you're in a car accident, no matter if it's major or minor, it is important to have an evaluation inour practice. A complete evaluation can determine the extent of your injuries and begin yourjourney towards recovery. Our practice's evaluation process and assessment tools can help usfully document your injuries. Then with a combination of treatment approaches, we can help youfind relief as quickly and safely as possible.         Science Source:https://thesmartchiropractor.com/science-sources/                          Read more
