Most people think if they can walk away from a car accident, they are fine. But what happens when the pain shows up days later? What happens when stiffness, headaches, numbness, or tension slowly begin affecting everyday life?

In this episode of Crashes, Claims & Clarity, Darrell Burrow sits down with Dr. Ashley Roman, Co-Founder of Nova Vitae Chiropractic, to discuss the injuries people often overlook after an accident and why waiting too long to seek care can make recovery harder. Dr. Roman shares how chiropractic care helped her own mother walk again after a devastating injury and how that experience inspired both her and her sister to build a family-centered chiropractic practice focused on healing, communication, and personalized care.

The conversation explores delayed symptoms after auto accidents, muscle memory after trauma, documentation for personal injury cases, pregnancy and postpartum care after accidents, and the importance of bilingual healthcare for Spanish-speaking patients navigating recovery.

• Why many accident injuries do not fully appear until days later.

• How muscle tension and limited movement can worsen when treatment is delayed.

• The connection between chiropractic care, recovery, and long-term mobility.

• Why documentation after an accident is critical for both healing and legal cases.
