You’re driving down Meridian or merging onto Hwy 512 when traffic suddenly stops. 🚦
Screech. Crunch. You’ve been rear-ended.
Your heart is racing, but after a quick check you say, “I’m fine—just a little shaken up.” You exchange info, head home to South Hill or Sumner, and take an ibuprofen.
Then 48 hours later… you can’t turn your head.
This is the “I’m fine” phase — and it’s often the most dangerous time for your spine.
At Momentum Chiropractic in Puyallup, we see it all the time. The injury happens at impact, but the pain can take days to show up. Don’t gamble with your long-term mobility by waiting to see if it “goes away.”
If you’ve been in an accident, get checked early. Your future self will thank you.
