When you are in a motorcycle accident, Uber or Lyft auto accident, semi-truck accident, commercial accident, or any other auto accident, it’s important to remember that the first 72 hours are critical in terms of your injuries.

If you need to see a doctor or chiropractor, reach out to Regional Medical Group to avoid long-term injuries.
Taking the Impact
Dr. Alex Bigham loves to remind people that, “Just because there is not much damage to the car, does not mean there cannot be a lot of damage to the occupant of the car. New cars are built with crumple zones to absorb the forces of the crash. When there is no crumpling of the vehicle the forces are directed to the occupants of the vehicle instead and can cause greater damage to the person.”
Depending on the injury, there is a chance that your pain might be delayed, but any auto accident can impact your life long-term. Regardless of how small the immediate pain is, it can still lead to much greater consequences if left untreated.
The First 72 Hours
After an auto accident, these crucial first few days determine the effects and long-term pain from any injuries sustained. It’s important that you identify any signs of inflammation and use ice and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication if you experience any swelling. This can significantly reduce the formation of scar tissue.
If you experience pain after the first 72 hours, there is a chance that this can affect your daily life in the long run. Never ignore the small aches and pains.
One of the largest and most common issues related to auto accidents are headaches. A headache can develop several months after the accident if you don’t take proper care for it. In many cases, headaches are a sign of some form of brain damage or traumatic brain injury (TBI). In order to better understand TBI’s, please read this article that helps to bring light to an exceptionally dangerous, yet largely misdiagnosed injury. Make sure to contact a doctor right away if you or someone else is experiencing this.
