Why Does Pain Sometimes Start a Few Days Following a Car Wreck?
This is Louisiana personal injury lawyer Loyd Bourgeois, and I am here to help you get the answer to this question and more today on Loyd’s Legal Insights...Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Mitchell Brien, chiropractor, at his office on Highway 90 in Luling, Louisiana. We are getting some insight from his perspective on some of the frequently encountered issues he sees with his personal injury patients. I hope you join us and learn more about the chiropractic process in personal injury claims.
The Insight with Dr. Brien
One of the major factors that cause this effect is the body releases what we call endorphins. Endorphins are the body's natural painkillers. When the body releases them you are not feeling much of anything. You are trying to function throughout -- your brain is trying to function, your body is trying to function, and you really just don't feel pain. This natural painkiller is working. A lot of times it takes hours or days for those endorphins to calm down. One thing I can kind of relate that to is when people exercise - they'll go exercise and they won't be sore until two or three days later. It is the same thing after an accident. So, I utilize that example with my patients in trying to compare those two together to help them understand why they are not in pain right away.
