Common Injuries Post-Auto Accidents
Every accident is unique, and so is the resulting pain and discomfort. Here are the most typical injuries we encounter:
Whiplash
Rapid neck movements during abrupt stops can cause lingering neck pain, shoulder discomfort, and even persistent headaches.
Shoulder Injury
The force from seat belts, although life-saving, can sometimes lead to rotator cuff strains or more intricate injuries like the brachial plexus damage.
Disc Injury
Herniated or bulging discs from the force of an accident can be sneaky culprits behind back pain, numbness, and weakness.
Knee Injury
Often an overlooked consequence, a powerful impact against the dashboard can damage the delicate structures within the knee, leading to what’s commonly called “dashboard knee."
Delayed Symptoms
The body’s immediate reaction post-trauma is to release adrenaline, a hormone that can mask pain. This is why some injuries might not be immediately felt but can surface days or even months later. Always get checked, even if you initially feel alright.
