Auto accident injuries may be immediately apparent after an incident, or they may take weeks or months to become obvious. Many variables may impact the severity of your auto accident injuries, including vehicle speed, body support during the incident, and your overall health. And these factors can also affect how quickly you show symptoms. It may also be essential to have documentation about your injuries to preserve your rights for legal reasons.
Even auto accidents that do not appear to cause injury can hurt your neck tissues, facet joints, discs, muscles, ligaments, and nerves. When your neck’s supporting structures are damaged, it can trigger headaches that you might not have attributed to the accident.
For instance, symptoms of whiplash could be subtle and include:
Cognitive changes
Neck pain
Headaches
Brain fog
Dizziness
Fatigue
Back pain
shoulder pain
Stiffness
