Pain & Chuna · Car Accident After-effects
Just because the accident is over doesn't mean
your body's discomfort is over right away
Right after a car accident you may not feel much discomfort, but as time passes, pain or stiffness in the neck and lower back can appear.
If you felt fine right after the accident, but as time passed your neck or lower back became stiff or your body started moving differently than before, it is important to check what changed before and after the accident.

What we check · Pain after an accident
Neck and lower back pain after a car accident
We check the impact at the time of the accident, the uncomfortable areas and when the symptoms started. We also look at which movements in daily life have become uncomfortable since the accident.
How we look · Before and after the accident
Checking the time of the accident and your current condition
We check the date of the accident, how the collision happened, when symptoms started afterward, the area that bothers you most now, and any previous tests or treatment. Rather than focusing on the accident itself, we set the direction of care based on the changes that remain in your body now.
Treatment process · The same standard
