What to Do After a Car Accident

After a personal injury, such as a car accident, there is often a major shock factor. The shock of a chaotic incident like a car crash can cause the body not to feel pain immediately.

In fact, many individuals will not feel pain until one or two days afterward. Any collision over eight miles per hour is risky, according to Dr. Noah Marchese, Chiropractor and Owner of HealthChoice Center of Peachtree City.

Such an event can leave the affected person with stiffness, headaches, dizziness, or shooting pain, which should be treated sooner rather than later to avoid worsening problems.

Whiplash is a combination of injuries that just creates all-over pain. I kind of refer to it as an onion; it’s got a few layers and each one needs to be addressed.

Dr. Marchese refers to the body’s muscles, ligaments, joints, and the nervous system as the layers that need to be addressed.

Author's summary: Accident victims may not feel pain immediately.
