FROM THE DOCTOR THE CAUSE OF CHRONIC PAIN MAY BE THAT OLD INJURY An auto accident, sports injury, or a simple slip and fall can be traumatic. Even if you don’t notice any obvious injuries from an accident, an injury may not surface until days or weeks later. Chaos often surrounds such events, causing many people to overlook the connection between their current pain and past injuries, leading them to forgo treatment or professional consultation. Generally, severe injuries require longer healing times. Injuries like muscle pulls, spasms, or whiplash may seem minor initially but can lead to lasting repercussions for months. Your recovery depends on the extent of your injuries and the nature of the accident. Back and neck injuries typically take longer to heal, while brain injuries and significant spinal issues may require months for full recovery. Untreated injuries can result in debilitating chronic pain long after the event has faded from memory. Whether you deal with a concussion, back or neck pain, muscle strains, a herniated disc, whiplash, a spinal injury, or tissue damage, untreated injuries can lead to long-term consequences. No matter where you are in the timeline following a car accident, your chiropractor can assist you on your road to recovery. Visit SouthOrangeChiropractic. com to read more about recovering from accident-related injuries, or call our team for more information.
