Car accidents can cause numerous injuries. Some of the most common are:
Whiplash is a result of your head moving violently forward and backward, which stretches the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your neck. This type of car accident injury is usually the result of a rear-end collision. You might suffer disc herniation and concussion at the same time.
A concussion is a type of brain injury where your head hits the inside of your skull with excessive force. It can cause headaches, nausea and vomiting, and trouble with memory and other cognitive functions. A severe concussion is potentially life-threatening.
Your ribs can fracture from hitting the steering wheel or dashboard, or might crack under pressure from your seatbelt at the moment of impact.
These causes of shoulder pain often happen at the same time, when the joint dislocates and tears the tendons and muscles that hold it in place.
The discs in-between your vertebrae can suffer tears during a car accident that allows the soft center of the disc to bulge or protrude into your spinal canal. The nerve pressure can cause pain in your limbs as well as neck and back pain.
Car accident injuries often involve the overstretching or rupture of muscles, ligaments, and tendons throughout your body.
