If you were recently injured in a car accident and are considering chiropractic care, you’re likely wondering:
“Will my pain get worse before it gets better?”

It’s a common and valid question—and at Vista Chiropractic in Dallas, we’re here to walk you through the recovery process with honesty, experience, and care.

Understanding the Healing Process

After a car accident, the body often experiences hidden trauma—whiplash, misalignments, inflammation, and muscle strain. Sometimes, you don’t feel these effects immediately due to the adrenaline spike following the crash.

Once chiropractic treatment begins, your body starts to readjust. This realignment process can sometimes trigger temporary soreness or discomfort, especially in areas that were previously stiff, misaligned, or under stress. This doesn’t mean things are getting worse—it actually means your body is responding.

Think of it like going back to the gym after time off: muscles you forgot existed might feel sore, but they’re waking up and beginning to strengthen.

Why You Might Feel Slightly Worse Before You Feel Better

Minor soreness after chiropractic adjustments can happen because:

• Muscles are realigning and releasing tension
• Ligaments and tendons are adapting to new positions
• Inflammation is shifting and reducing
• Nerves are decompressing

This discomfort is temporary and usually fades within 24–48 hours. Most importantly, it’s a sign your body is healing—not deteriorating.
