After experiencing a car accident, you might be feeling shocked or distressed. The logistics of health insurance, car insurance, and repairs can sometimes be overwhelming and can cause people to procrastinate getting medical treatment, especially when the accident did not result in obvious injuries.
Just as you would see in any trauma, a car accident will cause adrenaline levels to spike. Adrenaline is a hormone that prepares your body for action in a high-stress situation. It also has a numbing effect on pain. After your body recognizes that the threat is gone, you may experience discomfort and soreness that you didn’t feel right after the accident.
One study even found that more than 70% of people who go to the Emergency Room after an auto accident still experience pain 6 weeks later. Chiropractic care is a method of treatment that can provide both long- and short-term pain relief.

Chiropractic & Physical Therapy in Totowa, NJ
There are many different types of injuries and conditions that can be a result of an auto accident, and Chiropractic & Physical Therapy care at NJ Health & Injury Solution can help.
A traumatic injury such as a car accident can be quite damaging to your spine. The bones that make up the spinal column, or vertebrae, can be crushed, fractured, or dislocated. Ligaments, nerves, muscles, or even the spinal cord itself can be damaged. The full effects of a spinal cord injury are often not felt immediately. Inflammation and swelling in or around the spinal cord can lead to additional damage and pain.
We also see many patients that suffer from headaches after a car accident. Typically, these headaches go away on their own, but they are sometimes persistent. Long-term headaches that are caused by an auto accident or other head injury are called post-traumatic headaches. They are sometimes accompanied by a number of other symptoms, including:
- Ringing in the ears
- Dizziness
- Blurred Vision
- Anxiety or depression
A consultation with one of our experienced providers at Hudson Spine Institute is the first step on your path to recovery.
