Treating Pain Brought On By Auto Accidents

When you experience an automobile accident, pain from injuries often doesn’t appear until hours, days, or even weeks afterward. Many people walk away from vehicle accidents “without a scratch” only to experience crippling pain, neck strain, or headaches much later.

It’s truly quite common for pain and injuries after an automobile accident to remain undetected for an extended period.

A Natural Reaction to Trauma

That’s because when you are in a crash, the body immediately produces defensive hormones, specifically adrenaline, which is a natural anesthetic. In some cases, people enter into a state of shock after a collision, leaving them unsusceptible to pain or other symptoms of injuries.

It’s only hours or perhaps days later– after the body’s natural defenses wear off– that they begin to realize that they were hurt in the crash.
