Why You Keep Hurting After a Car Accident Even When the Tests Are Normal
의료 감수 Dr. Heo Ji-young Representative Director · KMD
If the tests after a car accident say "nothing wrong" but your body still feels heavy and stiff, it may be a problem with the muscles and ligaments.
X-rays and CT scans look at bone fractures or major damage. But muscles and ligaments that have been stretched or strained by the impact of an accident don't show up well on these tests.
- Started hurting a few days after the accident
- Tests are normal, but the neck and lower back feel stiff
- Catches and tingles in certain positions
In cases like this, you have to look at the symptoms and movement together, rather than the test numbers. Aftereffects of a car accident can be treated through auto insurance.
