Understanding Auto Injuries
Auto-accident injuries can have long-lasting effects on your body, often resulting in pain, stiffness, swelling, and restricted movement. From whiplash to soft-tissue damage and disc injuries, these trauma-related conditions can interfere with daily tasks, degrade your wellbeing, and reduce your quality of life. Common conditions include:
- Whiplash: One of the most common injuries from car accidents is whiplash, which occurs when the head and neck are suddenly jerked forward and then backward. This can lead to significant neck pain, stiffness, reduced range of motion, and persistent headaches.
- Back and Spine Injuries: Injuries to the lumbar or thoracic spine are common in collisions, often resulting in lower back pain, stiffness, and discomfort that can interfere with daily activities.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Strains or tears in muscles, ligaments, and tendons can occur during an accident, causing pain, inflammation, and reduced mobility that may require targeted treatment.
- Disc Injuries: Herniated or bulging discs, common in high-impact crashes, can compress nerves and lead to sharp back pain and radiating discomfort in the arms or legs, depending on the affected area.
