Immediately following a car accident, many seemingly minor but significant injuries that need treatment may not be apparent. High adrenaline levels that occur after an accident can mask many symptoms and pain; it’s the body’s natural defense mechanism that helps us get through emergencies, even if we are injured. After the body has calmed and is rested, aches and pains often reveal themselves and inflammation around sore spots can indicate injuries that were not apparent just hours before.
Despite the absence of pain, it is still imperative to seek the care from one of our doctors Many people forego evaluation after an accident only to experience chronic pain as time goes on. Don't let this be you! Pain can sometimes take days or even weeks to set in. Seeing us directly after your injury will allow us to determine what structures have been affected by the force and rapid motion an accident can create on the body.
