2
When you are involved in a car accident, there
are several factors at work, which can cause the
body to sustain injuries.

3
To being with, when you combine a moving vehicle
with another moving vehicle or a stationary
object, there are physical forces at work, most
notably G-forces from the impact.

4
G-forces cause variations in the weight of people
and objects inside the vehicle and how damaged is
sustained.

5
Did you know that in some accidents, the G-forces
can alter a persons body weight, so that the
person seems like they weigh a thousand pounds or
more?

6
Knowing that, consider what would occur if a
thousand pound object was tossed around inside
your vehicle, like a person in the back seat not
wearing their seat belt.

7
Furthermore, even if wearing your seat belt, the
G-forces are still a factor, altering the forces
of impacts against air bags, steering wheels and
head rests.

8
Another factor at work during a car accident is
the release of adrenaline by the bodys flight
or fight response system. With an increase in
adrenaline, it helps shield the body from pain
and discomfort.

9
In some cases, people report they feel fine after
a severe car accident, not realizing they
actually were injured, simply due to the
adrenaline masking the pain.

10
This is why someone might notice pain, soreness,
and discomfort a day or two after the initial car
accident, after the adrenaline levels within the
body return to normal.

11
If you have been involved in a car accident,
regardless of the severity, it is always in your
best interests to seek treatment from a qualified
healthcare provider, like a physiotherapist in
North York.

12
Your physiotherapist is able to conduct a
thorough examination to determine whether there
were injuries from the car accident and prescribe
the proper rehabilitative treatments.

13
In addition, your vehicle insurance covers the
costs of medical treatments after being involved
in a car accident, so you do not have to worry
about unexpected medical bills.

14
Failing to seek treatment can have serious long
term effects long after the accident. The
soreness, pain, and discomfort you experience
could indicate a severe injury that will not
simply go away in a few weeks.

15
Next, once your body has been injured in a
specific location, like the lower back or neck,
it can be a precursor to potential future
injuries since this area of the body has been
weakened and not properly treated.

16
You could even experience ongoing medical
problems, like chronic neck or back
pain.   Physiotherapy is beneficial because it
involves a detailed assessment of your body and
potential injury locations.
