After your little car prangs, you feel fine. Besides feeling shocked, you don’t feel any Pain. Wake up the next day, and man your neck is sore (I definitely know this from experience). Whiplash has set in.
See your Doctor to make sure everything is A-OK first.
- Take an anti-inflammatory – A great piece of advice I got from the doctor was to take an anti-inflammatory medication (e.g. ibuprofen) soon after the accident. It works to reduce inflammation and reduce muscle spasms caused from the stress on the body due to the force of the car accident.
- Cold packs – You can apply to the area for 10 minutes and off for another 10 to help decrease pain and swelling.
