Signs You Should See a Neurologist After a Car Accident

Concussion

Car accidents can be traumatic events, resulting in a wide range of injuries, some of which are immediately apparent and others which take time to manifest. Injuries affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves are among the most common hidden injuries following a car accident. After a car accident, you may not initially consider seeing a neurologist. A neurologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating illnesses and injuries of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It is vital to pay attention to your body in the hours, days, and weeks following your car accident. You need to watch for signs that may indicate a brain, spinal cord, or nerve injury. Undiagnosed or untreated neurological issues can have permanent consequences. Below, we look at some signs that may indicate you should see a neurologist after a car accident.

Severe, Persistent Headaches

Headaches are quite common after a car accident due to the impact and emotional stress. However, headaches may also be a sign that something is seriously wrong. Severe, persistent headaches could be an indication that you suffered a neurological injury. For example, it might indicate that you suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). If you are experiencing severe, persistent headaches after a car accident, you should consider booking an appointment with a neurologist near you.

Numbness or Tingling

Numbness or tingling around your legs and arms could be an indication that you sustained a neurological injury in your car accident. You should not ignore these symptoms, as this can result in more nerve damage over time. Schedule a visit to see a neurologist and allow them to provide an accurate diagnosis. A neurologist can develop a treatment plan that can help prevent further damage.

Body Weakness

Body weakness is another symptom that may indicate you need to see a neurologist. This is not the general weakness you may experience due to pain or if you have hurt a part of the body. You should consider seeing a neurologist if you are having trouble lifting or moving certain body parts, even though you do not have a physical injury. This may be an indication that you hurt part of your nervous system.

Memory and Concentration Issues

If you are having trouble concentrating or remembering things, it could be a sign that you suffered a TBI. It is crucial that you see a neurologist if you are experiencing memory and concentration issues after a car accident. This medical professional can assess you and determine the impact your accident had on your brain function. A neurologist can prepare a treatment plan that can help you regain your cognitive abilities.

Sleep Problems

If you are having trouble sleeping or are sleeping excessively, it could be a sign that you suffered a head injury in your car accident. A neurologist can determine if your sleep problems are related to a neurological injury.

What Does It Cost To See a Neurologist?

The cost of seeing a neurologist can vary depending on several factors, including the doctor’s experience, geographical location, and the complexity of the condition. Fortunately, if your car accident resulted from another party’s negligence, you can hold them liable and recover compensation for medical expenses and other damages.
