Why is Seeking Treatment After a Car Accident Important?
Even if you don’t feel injured you should be evaluated by a professional who specializes in neck and back injuries.
After an accident your injuries may not be obvious. Seeking treatment right away can help:
- reduce inflammation and scar tissue
- reduce the need for medication
- shorten your healing time
- avoid chronic pain
- increase range of motion
After an accident, even a minor one, it can take time for symptoms of injuries such as whiplash to show up. Scar tissue forms after your accident as a part of the body’s natural healing process. This can lead to increasing stiffness. Stiffness changes how you use your body, causing some muscles to be used more than they should and other muscles to be used less. Painful spasms can result in those overused muscles, sometimes months or years later.
Don’t wait until you feel pain when you can stop it before it starts.
