Should I Worry About Delayed Pain After a Car
Accident?

• Delayed pain after a car accident is not
  uncommon. In fact, its estimated that up to 60
  of people who are involved in car accidents
  experience some form of delayed pain. This can
  include soft tissue injuries, back pain, and
  other types of pain that may not appear until
  hours or days and even weeks after the auto
  accident.

Why do some car accident symptoms dont show up
until later?

• One of the most common questions we get from car
  accident victims is why some of their symptoms
  after a car accident dont show up until hours or
  days or even weeks after the accident. Its a
  valid question, and one that has a few different
  answers.
• First, its important to understand that not all
  injuries are immediately apparent. A soft tissue
  injury, for example, may not become painful until
  hours or even days after the initial trauma. This
  is due to the inflammatory response, which can
  take time to reach its maximum intensity.
• Additionally, some injuries, such as back pain
  from a herniated disc, may not cause
  symptoms until they put pressure on surrounding
  nerves.
• Finally, its important to remember that pain is
  often a delayed response to an injury. In other
  words, you may not feel pain until your body has
  had time to process the injury and send out pain
  signals.

Best way to deal with pain after an accident

• If you experience any delayed pain after a
  car accident, its important to see a doctor or
  other medical professional as soon as possible.
  They will be able to properly diagnose and treat
  any injuries that you may have. In some cases,
  delayed pain after an accident can be a sign of a
  more serious injury, so its always best to err
  on the side of caution. If you have been involved
  in an accident and are experiencing pain, it is
  best to see a chiropractor who not only can
  diagnosis the problem, but also treat the
  injuries. Call us at 704-541-7111
