Not only can pain from an automobile accident be excruciating, it can be traumatizing as well. If not treated properly, the pain can persist and become chronic.

Few people realize how stressful dealing with the injuries that arise after a car accident can be.  Some auto accident injuries are hidden and are not detected for months after the accident. Problems can occur when an injury is not treated properly and in a timely manner.  This is why it is essential for accident victims to get evaluated by a doctor trained in soft tissue injuries prior to settling their case with the insurance companies.

How We Treat Injuries After Auto Accidents

After a car accident, even if there was little damage to the car, occupants can still suffer from serious spinal and soft tissue (muscle and ligament) injuries. Injuries like these are caused by abrupt changes in velocity when your vehicle is impacted. This sudden change can cause movement of the head – backward, forward or sideways which is often referred to as whiplash.

Whiplash can cause tearing of muscles and ligaments in the cervical spine (neck). In severe cases the soft, pulpy discs between spinal bones can bulge, tear or rupture. Damage to discs cause compression and irritation to the spinal cord and nerve roots in the neck. This can lead to radiating pain down your arms, numbness in your hands or pain shooting into your shoulder blade. At the same time, vertebrae become fixated which causes pain in your neck and reduces range of motion. While the occupants can suffer considerable soft tissue injury, the car may be only slightly damaged.

Car accident victims may experience:

• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Blurred Vision
• Pain in the shoulder
• Arms and hands
• Reduced ability to turn and bend
• Neck Pain
• Low Back Pain
• Radiating Pain in the Arms or Legs
• Difficulty Remembering Important Things 

Types of Auto Accidents

Auto accidents are either classified as:

Low Velocity – Below 10 MPH

• Injuries usually result from the rapid movement of the body during the crash
• Whiplash and muscle strains and sprains stem from low velocity injuries
• Symptoms may be delayed

High Velocity – Above 10 MPH

In High Velocity impacts, victims often experience:

• Second impact – hitting an object in the vehicle such as an airbag, dashboard or even the windshield
• Neck pain
• Back pain
• Headaches
• Numbness or tingling
• Anxiety
• Fatigue
• Irritability

Not only can pain from an automobile accident be excruciating, but it can be traumatizing as well. If not treated properly, the pain can persist and worsen over time.
