Why You Must See a Doctor Quickly After an Auto Accident
If you’ve been in a car accident, you need to see a doctor right away.
Often after a car accident, people have some hidden physical injuries as a result
of the collision.
High adrenaline levels can lessen the effects of injuries immediately after an
accident.
But after the shock has worn off and the body has time to adjust, the injuries manifest themselves.
Most people believe they’re fine and let a month or more pass until something starts
to hurt and they go see a doctor.
That's usually when you find out that your pain is a result
of the car accident… but it might be too late!
The insurance companies won't pay for care for injuries from an accident unless
you see a doctor within two
weeks of the collision.
In the weeks following the accident, you may experience any of the
following symptoms:• Headaches• Nausea• Neck pain• Sleep disturbances• Numbness and tingling in the extremities• Back pain• Vertigo, dizziness• Light sensitivity• Knee, shoulder or hip pain• Back pain
A doctor at Pivotal Health Physical Medicine will identify any pains
from the accident that might turn into more serious problems.
