Car accidents can be sudden and severe. They often involve multiple issues as the driver or passenger gets thrown around, realizing the direct impact of an accident. It is common to sustain lacerations, intrusions, contusions, indirect damages, and internal pressure. Read below to see how Advanced Physical Medicine in Yorkville, IL, can help.
In any case of the above, medical attention after a car accident is a must. Even when someone doesn’t feel anything wrong, their body is likely coursing with adrenaline that masks soft injuries that hide internally and aren’t visible. These injuries only become apparent later when the adrenaline surge wears off, the body has a chance to rest, and the damage is felt.
In most cases, being seen by a chiropractor after an initial medical response to stabilize a patient is a good idea, typically no more than three days afterward if allowed by a patient’s physician after a full evaluation. Waiting longer lets the body start trying to heal itself, which can be a bit of a sloppy affair.
The human body is extremely resilient in trying to repair the damage immediately. However, the biological purpose is to close the body, repair damage, and function for survival. As a result, many serious injuries are left alone, healing with heavy scarring and repairs. Seeing our chiropractor helps avoid these problems, especially with soft-tissue injuries.
