Types of Car Accident Injuries
There are certain types of car accident injuries that we see and treat more often than others. Some of the more common injuries include:
- Whiplash: Whiplash can be an incredibly painful injury. If left untreated, this painful ailment can cause debilitating pain for months. Whiplash is the result of the head being thrust forward and then back when hit from behind. Even a low-speed car accident can cause a serious whiplash injury. There are a variety of therapies available to help ease the pain of whiplash, including cold laser and electrotherapy.
- Cervical Radiculopathy: This is a type of trauma to the spinal cord which occurs when it is compressed in a car accident. The resulting pain is intense, with nerve damage causing pain in the arms, shoulders, and other areas of the body where those nerves may have been affected. Our team has the expertise in dealing with this type of pain by using spinal decompression therapy and pain management.
- ACL Injury: Your knees are particularly vulnerable in a major car accident as they often collide with the bottom of the dash. This can lead to numerous knee problems including damage to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This type of injury often requires surgical repair and rehabilitation afterward. Our medical staff has seen hundreds of post-operative ACL patients and are trained at assisting in the rehabilitation techniques needed to get you back on your feet.
When a person is involved in a car accident, practically any part of the human body is vulnerable to the risk of injury. Even when mild, this type of trauma can have several effects on your body. Some of these will be obvious immediately, while other painful symptoms may take time to present themselves. It is very important to always have a physical examination after being involved in an auto accident, no matter how minor you think it was.
