How to Recognize If You’ve Been Injured in a Car Accident
Symptoms of car accident injuries can often be cumulative rather than immediate, making it hard to gauge whether you have sustained an injury right away.
Even if you are not experiencing pain, you want to look out for other symptoms like:
- Numbness or tingling sensation in the limbs
- Unexplained headaches
- Fatigue
- Muscle stiffness or muscle spasms
- Restlessness or problems sleeping
- Inability to focus
If you’ve been in a car crash, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider right away to prevent your symptoms from worsening. A car accident chiropractor can help you recover from auto injuries like whiplash, headache, and neck pain.

Schedule OnlineChiropractic Care After a Car Accident: Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Be Seen
Immediately after an auto collision, it’s common for people to wait to get treatment. Most people think, “I’ll just wait to see how I feel next week.” This approach can be a mistake.
A number of scientific studies show that when a patient gets early treatment soon after a crash, they have better outcomes than those patients who wait.
During a crash, the tissues of your neck can be stretched or torn. You may not feel pain right away but as the tissues become swollen and inflamed, patients often wake up the next day with a sore, stiff neck.
Pain and stiffness are signs of trauma to the ligaments and muscles of your neck. The body’s response to injury is to restrict movement and to heal the injury by sending white blood cells to the area. Your body will then begin repairing the injured area by laying down scar tissue.
Scar tissue formation can lead to chronic joint limitations and poor function in the injured areas. If you don’t receive proper treatment, that can result in permanent limited mobility, chronic pain, and even spinal degeneration of the joints. Treatment is geared towards ensuring proper healing takes place so that you are able to return to your normal fully functioning self!
Getting early treatment will break up this pattern by increasing movement in the injured area and by preventing the development of scar tissue.
