Common Motor Vehicle Injuries We See

Every accident is unique, and the injuries sustained can vary widely depending on the circumstances of the collision. However, there are several common injuries that many people experience following such incidents, including:

Whiplash – This injury occurs due to the sudden forward and backward movement of the head during a crash, which can put significant strain on the muscles, ligaments, and joints in the neck, often leading to pain and discomfort.

Neck and Shoulder Pain – Many individuals report experiencing tension and stiffness as a result of the pressure from the seatbelt restraint or the abrupt impact of the collision, which can lead to discomfort in both the neck and shoulder areas.

Back Pain – Injuries to the back can arise from various factors, including spinal misalignments, muscle strains, or issues related to the spinal discs, all of which can contribute to persistent pain that interferes with daily life.

Headaches – Often, headaches can be linked to whiplash or tension resulting from stress in the neck and upper back areas, manifesting as discomfort that can range from mild to debilitating.

Reduced Range of Motion – Individuals may encounter difficulty in turning their heads, bending, or moving comfortably due to various injuries sustained in the accident, leading to limitations in daily activities and overall mobility.
