Back and neck injuries
Because of the impact of a crash, back and neck injuries are extremely common. Some neck and back injuries that could result from a car injuries include things like sprains, fractures, disc injuries, and spine injuries. Often, people in car injuries assume that they’re just sore from the crash’s impact and don’t see a doctor.
However, slight soreness could be the result of a more severe injury that could worsen if left untreated. Back and neck problems may be treated effectively with the proper diagnosis. About 69% of Americans agree that their lower back pain impacts their daily lives, so it’s important to treat any back and neck pain promptly.
Whiplash
One of the most common injuries sustained in car injuries is whiplash. Unfortunately, whiplash can cause problems days or even weeks after an injuries. Basically, whiplash occurs when the neck is forced forward, then quickly and suddenly snaps back into its original place.
This motion can put a significant strain on the spine and can cause problems like neck and back pain, headaches, and even tinnitus. But with x-ray services at Precision Pain and Spine Institute, you can ensure your neck and spine don’t have concerning damage.
Soft tissue injuries
Muscles, tendons, and ligaments are the most common soft tissue injuries. These injuries often occur during sports and exercise activities, but sometimes, simple everyday activities can cause damage. Sprains, strains, and contusions, as well as tendinitis and bursitis, are common soft-tissue injuries.
Even with appropriate treatment, these injuries may require a prolonged amount of time to heal.
