Common Injuries After a Car Accident
Car accident trauma can affect multiple structures at once. Even low-speed collisions can create significant force through the spine, joints, and soft tissues.
Car Accident Injuries We Treat
After a car accident, we commonly evaluate:
- Whiplash and cervical strain
- Lower back injuries and disc compression
- Herniated discs caused by car accident impact
- Facet joint inflammation
- Shoulder, knee, and wrist injuries
- Nerve irritation and radiating pain
- Headaches following a car accident
Car accident injuries often involve both obvious trauma and subtle secondary damage. A thorough evaluation ensures nothing is overlooked.
Pain Symptoms That Appear Days After an Accident
Many patients feel minimal pain immediately after a car accident. Adrenaline can temporarily block pain signals. Swelling develops gradually. Tissue irritation may worsen as normal activity resumes.
Delayed car accident symptoms may include:
- Neck stiffness that increases over 24–72 hours
- Lower back pain that intensifies several days after the crash
- Headaches that begin one or two days after a car accident
- Muscle spasms
- Tingling or numbness in the arms or legs
- Dizziness or difficulty concentrating
Delayed pain after a car accident is common. Early evaluation prevents these symptoms from progressing into chronic conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Accident Injury Treatment
How soon after a car accident should I see a doctor?
You should see a doctor as soon as possible after a car accident, ideally within 24 to 72 hours. Many car accident injuries do not cause pain right away. Adrenaline can hide symptoms for hours or even days. Getting an early evaluation helps catch hidden injuries before they get worse. It also creates the medical records you need for insurance claims. At Premier Pain Management, we offer same-day and next-day appointments so you can get evaluated quickly after your car accident.
Why does pain show up days after a car accident?
Delayed pain after a car accident is very common. Your body releases adrenaline during a crash, which can block pain signals for hours or days. Swelling also takes time to build in injured tissues. As the adrenaline wears off and swelling increases, you start to feel the full effects of the injury. This is why many car accident patients notice new neck pain, back stiffness, or headaches 2 to 5 days after the crash. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms after a car accident, it is important to get a professional evaluation right away.
Does insurance cover treatment for car accident injuries?
Yes, most insurance plans cover treatment for car accident injuries. This includes your own auto insurance, the other driver’s liability coverage, and health insurance in many cases. The key is proper documentation from the start. At Premier Pain Management, our team helps manage your insurance paperwork. We create detailed medical records, provide treatment reports, and make sure your documentation supports your claim. This lets you focus on healing instead of dealing with paperwork.
How does Premier Pain Management handle insurance and documentation after a car accident?
