Delayed Whiplash After a Car Accident? Get Checked Now

​By Dr. Masoud Shamaeizadeh Soft Touch Chiropractic | Northridge, CA

​A friend of mine recently visited my office at Soft Touch Chiropractic—two weeks after being in a car accident. When I asked if he got the other driver's insurance information, he said, “No.”
Why?
He explained that even though he felt a jolt of whiplash during the crash, he felt fine afterward—so he let the other driver go.
Two weeks later, he was now experiencing neck pain and stiffness… yet didn't think it had anything to do with the accident.

Why You May Feel Fine After a Car AccidentWhen your body experiences trauma—whether it’s a car crash, strenuous exercise, or an injury—it releases natural chemicals called endorphins and enkephalins.
These powerful hormones act like natural painkillers, masking symptoms for days or even weeks.
That’s why:

• You might feel “normal” after an accident…
• But still suffer undetected soft tissue damage or spinal misalignment…
• And end up with chronic pain later on if left untreated.

The Hidden Risk of Untreated WhiplashWhiplash injuries can lead to:

• Persistent neck and upper back pain
• Headaches and dizziness
• Reduced range of motion
• Long-term postural problems and spinal stress

Chiropractic care can identify and treat these injuries early—before they become serious.
