Being in a car accident is a very difficult
situation on several levels. Your pain is complicated by the stress
and expenses of having your car at the mechanic, dealing with your
insurance or potentially missing work.
While you may be in a hurry to get your car back and return to
normal activities, make sure to see a chiropractor. Many make
the mistake of ignoring seemingly minor stiffness or aches and
pains,, only to regret it later on. There could be hidden injuries that a minor
stiff neck misleads you from discovering.
Car accident forces
even in a minor fender bender can be significant enough to cause muscle, ligament,
nerve or muscle damage.
Symptoms can appear weeks or months down the road in
terms of headaches, neck and back pain or muscle imbalances.
If injuries - even minor ones - are not reported soon you may
loose important insurance
rights or coverage on top of suffering lingering health problems.
Insurance coverage or health complications can usually be
avoided when dealt with early on.
