Read more of this public information if you or anyone you know are involved in an automobile accident...
Dear Collision Victim,
Getting involved in an automobile collision is one of the most scary and stressful experience that you will experience in your lifetime. After the accident many things will change. Psychologically, you may be depressed and is somewhat fearful of driving. Physically you might experience discomfort or pain.
The Insurance Company Wants to Settle With You Quickly Because It Will Save Them A Lot of Money
Most insurance companies want you to settle your case as soon as possible while your medical bills are low or non-existence. They would rather see you in pain after you settle with them then pay for your treatment. Let's be realistic, insurance companies are businesses.. a business like any other, and the less they spend on appropriate care, the more money they make their shareholders.
Most Injuries Does Not Show Up Weeks Or Maybe Months Later
Many people do not feel pain immediately, so they assume that they are okay. This is when the insurance company calls and acts as your friend and tells you to settle. Weeks or months after you settle until you feel the pain. This is because you might be suffering from hidden or soft tissue injury.
Just Because The Emergency Room Doctor Said You Are Okay, It Does Not Necessarily Mean You Are Okay...
If you visit the emergency room, the doctor mostly are looking for life-threatening injuries such a broken bone, puncture lungs, heart failure, etc. As long as there is no immediate threat, they will send you along your way with pain medication. This does not mean muscles weren't torn and injuries didn't take place.
Shocking Truth About Pain Medication To Get Rid of Your Pain
When you only take pain relief and/or anti-inflammatory medication, scar tissue and adhesions can form limiting the proper motion needed for healthy nerve and blood flow. One study in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery even reports that pain medications can even delay healing. Pain medication can only mask the symptoms and does not fix the problem.
Soft-tissue injury needs to function and move properly after injury for full recovery.

· Muscle Stiffness
 · Spasms
