WHAT’S MOST IMPORTANT AFTER A WRECK IS USUALLY NEGLECTED
After a car wreck, most people are worried about, “What am I going to drive to work? And who is going to pay to have my car fixed?” The last thing on their mind is, “ Am I really okay? ” If a person isn’t experiencing immediate pain, usually because of the adrenaline, they often neglect their own well-being. Car wrecks can be a hassle, but the most common complaint from car wreck victims is they don’t feel like themselves. They could be experiencing some of the obvious pains and symptoms, including muscle spasms, neck pain, numbness, back pain, and difficulty concentrating, among others. Worse than that, a car wreck victim may be injured and feel almost nothing at all. Unfortunately, some car wreck injuries can go undetected for months or even years. Recent studies that looked at victims’ health statuses 17 years after their wrecks found that 55% of the patients still suffer from pain caused by the original trauma. What makes statistics like this even more alarming is an estimated 15–40% of car wreck victims will suffer from ongoing chronic pain. In addition to all of the immediate and underlying injuries, a car wreck victim could suffer ongoing medical concerns like post- traumatic osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis can ruin your posture, cause disc degeneration in your spine, and generate scar tissue, which can lead to chronic stiffness and an inability to move correctly. This is due to the tissue surrounding the spine, which includes facet joints, discs, and muscles around the spine.
