Even in minor fender-benders, the impact on the vehicle’s body is directly transmitted to the spine and joints, causing various aftereffects—such as neck and lower back pain, headaches, dizziness, and nausea—several days later.
Even if X-rays or MRIs show no fractures, the impact of the accident can cause microvascular ruptures and lead to blood stasis, where blood circulation becomes stagnant.
If this blood stasis is not treated in a timely manner, it can lead to chronic pain and autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
