Car Accidents
Auto accidents can be extremely traumatic and stressful experiences. It’s crucial to prioritize your health and seek medical attention after an automotive injury, as the impact of the accident can have long-term lasting effects on your body. Symptoms from such injuries might not surface until days, weeks, or even months later.
Modern vehicles are designed with safety features to protect occupants during collisions. These features work to absorb and distribute impact energy, reducing the severity of injuries. However, it’s important to note that they cannot completely eliminate the risk of injury. Even minor collisions can transfer enough energy to cause significant harm.
Typical symptoms experienced after a motor vehicle accident may include: neck pain and stiffness, shoulder discomfort, pain in the upper back or between the shoulder blades, lower back pain or sciatica, numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, fatigue, trouble concentrating, dizziness, and more.
If you were involved in a motor vehicle accident in Beaverton, Hillsboro, or the greater Portland area in general, don’t delay getting treatment. Acupuncture can help greatly in the relief of your pain and symptoms related to your car accident.
