Common Auto Accident Injuries

Whether it was a severe or minor crash, your back, neck, and spine are the most-susceptible areas for injuries in auto accidents. Because these areas are critical to normal, day to day functioning, it is important that they are thoroughly examined. Again, the symptoms may be delayed, so it is important you seek treatment even if you don’t feel like you are injured.

There is a wide variety of injuries that can be caused by a car accident; some of the most common include:

Brain/Head Injuries. If you are suffering migraines, or feel dizzy, after a collision, there is a chance your head was affected. Injuries of the brain/head can vary from minor concussions to TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury).
Neck Injuries. The neck is one of the most common parts of the body to ache after an accident, especially for people who were wearing their seatbelts when rear-ended. The quick, forward motion, followed by snapping back, can cause disc injury and sometimes cervical radiculopathy.
Back Injuries. These can include sprains, fractures, disc injury, and lumbar spine injury
Soft Tissue Injuries. These are most often caused from whiplash and will likely worsen over time unless properly treated. Whiplash is common in accidents because of the sudden impact and jerking of your neck. When you get whiplash, it means there are tears in ligaments and muscles, which can cause pain and sometimes swelling. Over time, your body’s tissues will work to repair these tears, but it is crucial to see a professional to ensure that they heal properly.

In most cases, for an insurance company to cover the medical bills you must seek treatment within 14 days of the crash. This is why seeing a chiropractor as soon as possible after an accident is so important.
