Common Car Accident Injuries

There are many type of injuries you might sustain from a car accident, but the following injuries are the most common:

Whiplash

Whiplash occurs when you receive a harsh impact to your body. This impact will cause the head to whip back and forth uncontrollably. This will cause trauma to the tendons, muscles, and joints of the neck. Whiplash symptoms usually manifest a few days after the impact. The first whiplash symptoms you’re likely to notice are pain and stiffness in neck and shoulders.

Herniated Disc

Another common type of injury is a herniated disc. Between each vertebra of the spine there is a soft cushion of tissue. This tissue keeps the bones of the spine from painfully rubbing together. If this disc is dislodged or ruptured, it will cause a great deal of pain in the neck.

Misalignment of the Spine

The spine will often be knocked out of alignment during a car accident. This can cause many problems in the back and neck.
