How to Recognize If You’ve Been Injured in a Car Accident

 

Symptoms of car accident injuries can often be cumulative rather than immediate, making it hard to gauge whether you have sustained an injury right away.

 

Even if you are not experiencing pain, look out for other symptoms like:

• Numbness or tingling sensations in the limbs

• Unexplained headaches

• Fatigue

• Muscle stiffness or muscle spasms

• Restlessness or problems sleeping

• Inability to focus

 

If you’ve been in a car crash, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider right away to prevent your symptoms from worsening. We recommend Crash Care Clinics, an auto-injury chiropractic service, who can evaluate you at our location in Heart Seven Collective immediately prior to your first massage. Once you’re with us, we can help you recover from auto injuries like whiplash, headaches, and neck pain.

Massage Therapy After a Car Accident: Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Be Seen

 

After a car accident, many people assume they can wait and see how they feel before seeking treatment. It’s common to think, “I’ll give it a week and see if the pain goes away.” Unfortunately, delaying care can actually make recovery more difficult in the long run.

 

Research consistently shows that those who receive treatment soon after an accident tend to heal more effectively compared to those who put it off. Even if you don’t feel immediate pain, underlying injuries may still be present. The impact of a crash can overstretch or tear soft tissues, and while symptoms might not appear right away, inflammation and stiffness often develop within hours or overnight.

 

When muscles and ligaments are injured, the body naturally responds by restricting movement and triggering inflammation. White blood cells flood the area to begin the healing process, and scar tissue starts to form. Without proper treatment, this scar tissue can lead to ongoing pain, restricted mobility, and even long-term joint issues.

 

Early intervention is crucial in preventing these complications. By addressing injuries before excessive scar tissue develops, treatment helps restore movement, alleviate discomfort, and support a smoother, more complete recovery. Prioritizing care right away gives your body the best chance to heal properly, reducing the risk of chronic pain and long-term dysfunction.

What Clients Are Saying About Our Portland Car Accident Massage Therapy Services

 

“I have been seeing both Sara and Jordan for weekly massages for about 6 months, and I highly recommend both! I first started going because I got rear ended and got an injury in my neck. I instantly felt so comfortable with communicating my needs, and they executed them! I’ve been feeling better and better as time goes on. I also have plantar fasciitis that Sara has relived so much, along with others aches and pains.
Honestly, I don’t know how I would live without them! I’ll never stop going.”

“10/10 recommend!! I work a 9 to 5 desk job & also work out 2 hours a day, from time to time my back gets out of whack. Ritual Massage’s practitioners are more than bodywork professionals - they are true healers. I am very picky about touch in general, but I trust these folks & their magic hands to get me tuned up when I need it.”

• Glen B.
