Healing After an Auto Accident: What to Do in the First 72 Hours

Hidden Injuries Can Take Time to Show

Immediately after an accident, adrenaline can mask pain and injuries, leading many to believe they are unharmed. However, within two to four days, symptoms such as aches, soreness, and stiffness often begin to appear. A thorough examination is essential to identify and treat injuries before they worsen.

Your Post-Accident Checklist

✔ Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine.
✔ Get a comprehensive exam, including on-site digital X-rays.
✔ Document all symptoms and injuries as they develop, pictures are useful.
✔ Follow treatment recommendations to prevent long-term complications.
✔ Consult with a chiropractor experienced in auto injuries.
