Delayed Pain from Auto Accident Injuries

Car accident pain can be immediate, but sometimes pain is delayed – masking an injury you didn’t recognize at the time of the accident. If you are ever involved in an auto accident, you should see an accident pain specialist doctor immediately. Not only will a pain management doctor be able to identify and treat the pain you are experiencing now, but they will also be able to diagnose any other injury that you may not yet be aware of and that could cause pain and discomfort at a later time.

Common Auto Accident Pain

After an auto accident and before the pain sets in, it is imperative that you receive treatment, so that your injuries do not become worse than they already are. Many times, the impact of a car accident will cause immediate pain and injury that can impair your mobility. Early treatment and diagnosis from a doctor that specializes in pain management and treatment can help more quickly relieve your pain and heal your injuries, and also prevent your injuries from becoming worse over time and developing into debilitating or life-interrupting injuries.

Some common car accident injuries that present with immediate pain include:

  • Whiplash
  • Neck Strain or Injury
  • Back Strain or Injury
  • Muscle Sprain or Strain
  • Muscle or Tendon Tears
  • Broken Bones
  • Dislocated Joints

Delayed Car Accident Pain and Injury

After an auto accident and before the pain sets in, it is important to see a doctor that specializes in car accident injuries to identify any potential issues that may not be immediately apparent at the time of the accident. Many times, car accident injuries are delayed, and accident pain does not begin to manifest for days, weeks or even months after the date of the accident. This can not only be too late for you to collect the insurance compensation you need, but can also make your injuries harder to treat or more painful that they would have been if they were identified earlier. This is why it is so important to seek a consultation with a pain management doctor immediately following a car accident or other personal injury.

Some common delayed auto accident injuries include:

  • Worsening Muscle or Bone Pain
  • Back Pain
  • Neck Pain
  • Stiffness and Reduced Mobility
  • Stress and Anxiety
  • Depression
