Constantly tired after a crash? Fatigue could be a symptom of spinal injury, concussion, or stress response. We help San Diego patients feel like themselves again—with natural, personalized care.
What Causes Fatigue After an Accident?
Fatigue is one of the most overlooked symptoms following a car crash. While it might seem like “normal stress,” persistent fatigue can signal a deeper issue.
Common causes of post-accident fatigue include:
- Concussion or mild traumatic brain injury
- Whiplash or cervical spine injury
- Sleep disruption due to pain or tension
- Mental strain, anxiety, or emotional trauma
- Muscular and nervous system overcompensation
- Medication side effects or inflammation response
If your energy hasn’t returned within days after your accident, it’s time to have your condition evaluated.
Signs That Your Fatigue Is Injury Related:
- Needing more rest than usual but not feeling refreshed
- Trouble focusing or mental “fog”
- Muscle weakness or soreness (leg weakness after accident)
- Low motivation or emotional instability
- Ongoing headaches or dizziness
