Auto Accident Injuries:

​

Auto accident injuries have both emotional and physical injuries. Even minor auto accidents can cause many physical issues that may not appear right away after accident. People who have been in a car crash don’t realize the lasting effects of their injury until much later. These injuries can get worse by the time, and that is why the immediate diagnoses are remarkable. Motor vehicle accidents (MVA) are a major cause of spinal injuries treated by chiropractors. Common MVA injuries are: 

 

• Whiplash: Is a neck injury due to forceful, rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck and commonly caused by rear-end car accident but also can result from sports accidents, physical abuse and other types of traumas. It is kind of sprain or strain of soft tissues around neck that in sever condition, even can causes bone injuries as well. 

​

• Herniated Discs: Did you know that most herniated disc injuries form due to trauma, such as a car crash? Force of the car accidents can push the discs out of the place and make pressure on nerves around it that causes numbness, tingling, sharp pain and much more. 

​

• Sprain and Strain: Car accidents can cause soft tissue injuries due to the sudden and forceful movement of the body during impact. These injuries typically affect muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

​

• Contusions: These are bruises caused by blunt force trauma. In a car accident, contusions can occur when the body hits against the interior of the vehicle or objects inside the vehicle.
