Your nervous system controls every function of your body, and nerves control everything from blood vessels and muscles, to glands and organs. Nerves control the ability to feel pain, numbness, or tingling sensations in the body. When nerves are damaged it can cause auto accident victims a delay in pain. Car accident victims may not always notice pain symptoms or injuries right away, but commonly feel discomfort arise within 24 hours of incident.

Potential risks from an auto accident include fracture or dislocation, a sprain or strain, or misalignments in the spine by herniated or protruded disks. Schedule an appointment with our office at KTK Chiropractic today if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms after an auto accident:

Whiplash

If your head whipped forward during an impact, typically during a rear end collision, you may be experiencing severe neck pain and stiffness from the neck snapping backward.

Back or Shoulder Pain

During an auto accident, your spine or shoulder may have been forced out of alignment resulting in uncomfortable pressure on nerves. You could potentially be suffering from a herniated disk or dislocated bones.

Headaches

Factors such as stress, muscle tension, or possible concussion may be contributing to headaches.

Numbness or Tingling

Irregular sensations in the legs or arms may be a potential sign of nerve injury or damage to the sciatic nerve.

These symptoms are commonly seen, amongst others, in auto accident injuries. If you have been involved in a car accident and are experiencing any of these symptoms, please call our office as soon as possible.
