Key points
I was fine on the day of the traffic accident, but the reason I started feeling pain a few days later is that I was fine at the accident scene, better than I expected.
So I briefly considered whether I should go to clinic, but I just came back home.
However, as two or three days pass, turning my neck becomes stiff, the back of my head feels heavy when I wake up in the morning, and my sleep becomes shallow for no reason.

Many people dismiss the feeling of the back of the neck becoming as hard as a stone and the shoulders constantly feeling heavy as if pressed down, saying, "That is just my constitution."
However, muscle stiffness is closer to a signal sent by the body than a matter of constitution.
If the same spot repeatedly hardens every day, it means that area is continuously working in the same way.

There are many people who, when told "it looks clear on the X-ray," feel at a loss, visiting an emergency room or orthopedic clinic immediately after an accident to have X-rays and CT scans taken and being told that "there is nothing wrong with the bones."
However, after returning home and a few days pass, days continue where your neck feels heavy, your shoulders are stiff as stones, your head feels dizzy, and you do not feel refreshed even after sleeping.
In times like this, it is very natural to think, "The tests said there were no problems, so why is it so hard?" or "Am I being too sensitive?"

Combined Acupuncture and Chuna Therapy for the Relief of Chronic Neck Pain For modern people who sit in front of a computer for long periods or spend a lot of time looking at smartphones, neck stiffness is like an inseparable shadow.
You have likely experienced waking up feeling unrefreshed and having your concentration clouded by a stiff, catching sensation whenever you turned your head.
Even if you try applying a patch or using a hot compress, it only provides temporary relief. When the chronic neck pain eventually persists for over three months, it can weigh heavily on your mind.
