Back or Neck Pain After a Wreck?
You Could Be Hurt Worse Than You Think
If you’re dealing with soreness and pain in your neck or back after a car accident, your instinct might be to ride it out for a few days. It’ll get better with a little rest, right?
Not necessarily. Most of the time if you have pain that starts in a day or two after an accident, it’s going to get worse and worse and worse.
We’ve seen it again and again. A crash victim puts off going to the doctor for days or weeks, thinking it’s just a minor problem. When they finally go, it turns out they need surgery for a herniated disc, fractured vertebrae, or other serious injury.
One of the worst things you can do is just lay on the couch for a week.
Waiting is Often the Worst Thing You Can Do
When you’ve damaged your supporting tissues seriously enough, rest alone won’t make it better. You need treatment.
Laying on the couch for a week often makes the problem worse, not better. Lactic acid continues to build up. Inflammation and pain get worse. Injuries get bigger.
Whether your car accident happened yesterday, last week, or even longer ago, don’t put off medical evaluation and treatment any longer. Each day you wait will only prolong your pain—and only make it harder to get fair compensation from the insurance company.
