Feel Fine After A Car Accident? Get Checked | Dr. Yusef Barnes | Mastery Wellness Podcast Ep. 4

"Regardless of whether you feel something or not, just get checked out." That is Dr. Yusef Barnes of Manasota Accident and Injury Center, with offices in Bradenton and St. Petersburg, Florida. He has spent close to 30 years in practice, most of it caring for people after car accidents, and his first two patients were car accident cases. In Episode 4 of The Mastery Wellness Podcast he explains what a crash does to the body, why headaches, neck pain and shoulder pain are what he sees most, and why so many people wait a week or ten days hoping it goes away. He walks through the 14 day window Florida drivers have to seek care in order to use their PIP benefits, and what he tells every patient to do first. He also shares the habits he follows himself. Move four to six days a week. Eat real food. Get adjusted. Sleep. Drink water. And get a nutritionist, because "you don't know what you don't know." A note on the 14 day rule: Dr. Barnes is describing Florida. Rules differ by state, so check the rules where you live.
