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 have any obvious injuries from an accident, you may have an injury that doesn’t surface until days or weeks after the incident. Because there is potential chaos and upheaval surrounding most events, many people don’t connect the pain they experience today with the injury they had weeks or months ago, and they fail to seek treatment or consult with a professional. Generally, the more severe your injury, the longer it will take for your body to heal. Some injuries, like a muscle pull or spasm or whiplash, may seem minor at the outset but can have lasting repercussions for months. Your specific recovery will depend on the extent of your injuries and the nature of the accident you endured. Back and neck injuries can take longer to heal, while brain injuries and significant spinal issues can take months to fully recover from. Left untreated, injuries from an accident can cause debilitating chronic pain and suffering long after the event has faded from memory. Whether you are dealing with a concussion, back or neck pain, muscle strains, a herniated disc, whiplash, a spinal injury, or tissue damage, untreated injuries can have long-term repercussions. Wherever you are in the timeline following a car accident, your chiropractor can help you on your road to recovery. You can read more about recovering from your accident-related injury in our recent blog post at SouthOrangeChiropractic.com or call us to get more information from our team. Most importantly, if yours is a chiropractic case we will tell you, if not we will tell you that too.
