Very first following an auto accident?
After an auto accident police will ask how you are. Actually, they are making sure you are responsive. In reality, you might not know fully how you are. It is always best to state, “I do not know yet”. In addition, it is best to allow others to assess you. Typically, after an auto wreck it takes 24 to 72 hours to self assess how you really are. Symptoms might not show until later due to the high volume of stress hormones released after an motor vehicle accident.
Have you ever been in a Minor Auto Accident?
Auto accidents, even a minor one, can alter your health. Effects that it can have may not be felt until later. These problems may not be seen for weeks, months and even years. Do not let it go too late to prevent your greatest asset – your health from being stolen from you .
All the vital functions for your whole body traverse through your upper neck down to the rest of your body. These mental impulses deliver and receive information so you can function at your best. This part of your spine just happens to be the most delicate too. Consider for a moment that the the average head weighs 10 lbs and is supported by 7 bones with over 32 joints making it to be easily stretched or injured if displaced in any one direction. This is why chiropractic assessment following an auto accident is important.
