In our office we treat a lot of patients that have been in automobile accidents. They come in with neck pain, back pain and lots of other symptoms. Frequently they are supprised when their pain doesn’t start to bother them until 2-3 days later.
You have to realize that automobile accidents happen in about a 1/3 of a second. During that time the head is thrust forward and back very quickly and ligament, joint and muscle damage can happen during that time. Then you continue about your life under more stress than usual because of the inconvience and shortly you pain begins.
It is very important that the injuries that occur in automobile accidents are addressed as quickly as possible. The longer the joints are jammed and the swelling accumulates the more scar tissue and adhesion accumulate. Decreasing your pain is your primary goal and ours is restoring normal function.
