Auto Accident Injuries: Common Injuries Among Our Patients

Car accidents put a lot of strain on the body, causing tissue damage and inflammation. The following are some of the most common types of vehicle accident injuries we treat at our Palm Harbor clinic:

Whiplash occurs when your neck and head are forcefully flexed back and forth. It is also known as neck pain syndrome. It can cause neck pain and stiffness, as well as headaches, jaw discomfort, arm pain, difficulty sleeping, and other symptoms.

Back discomfort is also prevalent after a vehicle accident, as are muscle strains, ligament sprains, joint misalignments, and disc herniation or bulging.

Knee and hip pain is often caused by a blunt force contact against the dashboard, a condition popularly known as "dashboard knee."

Shoulder discomfort often caused by seatbelt dislocations, brachial plexus strain, or rotator cuff injuries, shoulder pain is a common effect of car accidents.

If you're injured in an auto accident, you'll normally notice any signs of an injury within a day or two, but pain-masking stress chemicals like cortisol might keep symptoms buried for weeks. It's always best to see a chiropractor as soon as possible after being in a car accident.
