                   According to the National Safety Council (NSA), there are more than 12 million motor vehicle accidents annually including more than 20 million vehicles. This results in over 5 million nonfatal accidents annually of which approximately 2 million are disabling injuries including approximately 1 million work-related auto disabling injuries.

Many studies have found a significant number of individuals to be symptomatic for many months and even years after a motor vehicle accident. In one such study, 75 percent of individuals remained symptomatic 6 months after the accident.

Symptoms arising from injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents were once thought to present immediately following the accident. However, research and clinic experience now demonstrate that a delay of symptom onset seems to be the norm. Also, delay of symptom onset does not eliminate the possibility of severe injury.

Pain After Car Accidents  
The extent of auto injury is not usually appreciated at the time of the accident because the pain from muscle sprain and strain may not occur immediately. However, it may intensify into much more acute pain and muscle spasms later.

Headache, whiplash and back sprain , which often result from rear end collisions, are prime examples. The victim may initially feel no symptoms or only minor aches but this is often followed by a tired sensation in the involved muscles which subsequently gives rise to spasms and pain.

Pain is a physiological phenomena, not a mechanical one. When a bottle is broken, the result can be easily observed; but when a muscle is torn or pulled, the brain does not always respond immediately and may change its reaction with time.

Sometimes, the pain may radiate to different parts of the body that have not been injured. For example, a shoulder sprain may produce pain down one's arm along with tingling and numbness in the hand without those parts actually being injured. The pain may also move from place to place during the course of time since pain is a dynamic rather than a static process.

Such a group of symptoms is quite similar to the post-traumatic stress syndrome that is often found in soldiers after exposure to combat. It appears that the body's alarm system goes off in the face of danger whether it is a combat situation or a car accident. And once such a system is activated, it remains so either indefinitely or for a protracted period of time, even if the danger is long past. Studies indicate that traditional Chinese medicine, like acupuncture and acupressure treatments, are very effective of solving these types of problems.
