Common Injuries After a Car Accident

Even a low-speed collision can injure your neck and back. Watch for these in the days after an accident:

Neck pain or stiffness, a common sign of whiplash

Back pain that shows up hours or days later

Headaches that start at the base of your skull

Shoulder pain or reduced range of motion

Tingling or numbness in your arms or legs

Why Pain Can Show Up Later

In a collision, your head and spine are thrown forward and back faster than your muscles can protect them. Adrenaline can mask the damage, so many people feel fine at first and hurt days later.

Left untreated, these injuries can heal with stiffness, leading to chronic neck and back pain. Early care gives you the best chance at a full recovery.

Get emergency care right away if you have a severe headache, confusion, dizziness, vomiting, or numbness or weakness after an accident. Once serious injuries are ruled out, call us to start your recovery.

Car Accident Questions, Answered

Should I see a chiropractor if I feel fine after an accident?

Yes. Whiplash and other soft tissue injuries often do not hurt for hours or days. An exam soon after the accident can catch problems early, before they turn into chronic pain.

Will my car insurance cover chiropractic care?

In Pennsylvania, auto policies include medical benefits that typically cover treatment after an accident, no matter who was at fault.

How soon after an accident should I come in?

As soon as any serious injuries have been ruled out. The sooner you start care, the faster your body can heal.

How long does recovery take?

It depends on your injuries. After your exam, Dr. Casteel will tell you how many visits he expects it to take, so you know the plan up front.
