Post-Accident Sequelae

A sudden impact
from a traffic accident
can damage the spine,
joints, and nerves.

Even without pain right after an accident,
neck or back pain, dizziness,
or headaches may appear later.
These often result from poor blood circulation and toxin buildup in the body.

Causes of Post-Accident Aftereffects

Blood Stasis(瘀血)& Phlegm-Dampness(痰飮)

A traffic accident can weaken
the body’s vital energy (Qi and blood),
causing waste buildup and poor blood circulation known as blood stasis and phlegm-dampness.
These lead to dizziness, heaviness, digestive issues, and lingering pain or stiffness.

In Donguibogam, it is written:
“When circulation is smooth, there is no pain; when circulation is blocked, pain arises.”
— Tong jeuk bul tong, bul tong jeuk tong (通則不痛 不通則痛)

The key to post-accident treatment
Restoring balance and reopening blocked circulation
Early treatment is essential after an accident
Starting care right away helps reduce pain and discomfort,
and prevents long-term aftereffects

Restoring circulation is the beginning of true recovery.
Early treatment speeds your return to a healthy daily life.

Post-Accident Aftereffects:
Why You Shouldn’t Take Them Lightly

Post-accident aftereffects are not limited
to just one or two areas of pain.
They can spread unpredictably across the musculoskeletal, neurological, digestive, and even psychological systems,
gradually causing significant disruption to daily life. It is crucial not to overlook even mild symptoms.

| Injury Risks by Body Area |

In Case of Abdominal Contusion
Internal organ bleeding may occur even
without visible injuries.
The body may look fine on the outside,
but internal bleeding can lead
to critical situations.
In Case of Head Contusion
Minor brain hemorrhage may not cause
symptoms right after an accident.
As bleeding gradually accumulates,
headaches, dizziness, and other symptoms
may appear days or even weeks later.

The Importance of
Early Treatment

  • At least 2 weeks of careful monitoring after an accident
    Watch for any physical or mental changes.

  • Early Treatment, Lasting Recovery
    Stop chronic aftereffects before they start.

The First 3 Months After an Accident

The Golden Time to Prevent Aftereffects

Check 01

Why are the first three months
after a car accident so important?

The first three months after an accident are
when pain subsides and treatment is most effective.
If this period is missed, pain can become chronic,
significantly reducing your quality of life.

Check 02

Why is the 3-month period
so important?

According to the International Association
for the Study of Pain (IASP) and the WHO ICD-11,
pain lasting longer than 3 months
is defined as chronic pain,
which slows recovery and increases
the risk of aftereffects.

Check 03

Don’t ignore the pain,
even if it feels mild

Within the first 3 months after an accident,
start accurate diagnosis
and multi-faceted treatment.
This helps reduce the risk of chronic pain and speeds your return to daily life.

Treatment within 3 months
after a traffic accident
is not just pain control - it’s a long-term recovery strategy
