Patients Often Feel the Painful Effects of a Car Accident Weeks After
I always find it interesting when a patient who has been coming in and getting treated as the result of a motor vehicle accident, a few weeks later asks, "Why do I have this pain?”. My simple answer is: "You were in a car accident".

Human Bodies Can Be Lightning Rods for Energy Transfer During a Car Accident
What most people don't realize is that they are lightning rods for the energy that can be transferred during a collision. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, it is simply transferred. Force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma), so the size of the vehicle that strikes you, and how fast it was going create force or energy that gets transferred into your vehicle. And since you are the only thing in your car that is not bolted to the car, you end up being the recipient of that energy, the lightning rod.

So these forces from a car
accident can cause damage to the spine's supporting structures.
Tears can occur in muscles and tendons. Scar tissue starts to form,
and then weeks after a car accident, you are left in pain.
Unfortunately, it takes only a moment for the damage to occur, but it can take
weeks to months to fully recover.

Aside from brain damage and fractures, car accident victims may also experience psychological trauma. They may have panic attacks whenever they see or hear anything related to the accident, thus affecting their everyday lifestyle and social relationships. So aside from physical therapy, psychological help and counseling are also much needed.

Some people who get into a car accident often assume that they're not hurt because they don't see/feel any immediate injuries. Little do they know is that the pain is yet to come, but only after the adrenaline has worn off. Feeling unhurt, they just let the liable party go away without paying for what they've caused to the person who is unknowingly injured.
